Hello all,
I have a rule that forwards all of my emails to my blackberry however there are certain emails that I do not want forwarded so I am trying to create a rule to do this. I just tried to do this using the "stop processing rules" but I am afraid that will stop all future emails from everyone else from being forwarded. Am I wrong about this and is there a better method for doing this? Thanks in advance Andrew |

You are wrong about what the "stop processing" action does. It prevents subsequent rules from processing messages that meet the criteria of the rule with the "stop processing" action. It has no effect on messages that do not meet those criteria.

Thats why I came looking here as I am hoping that someone will help me
to get this to work. It can be quite difficult to work out exactly how your rules will work. This is where the action "Move a copy to the selected folder" comes to your rescue. If you have a rule to "do something clever" and you want to know if it processed or not, then include "Move a copy to the selected folder", and create/select a folder called "do something clever". If you find a copy of any particular mail item in this folder then you know the corresponding rule "did its thing". Once you have everything working to your satisfaction you can remove the additional "Move a copy to the selected folder" steps (and also the folder, and its contents). There's probably some developer somewhere thinking "What an oaf! Why doesn't Swifty use the rules trace facility?", but us mortals have to get by on what we can find. This paragraph is "developer bait", by the way. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |
