Using Outlook 2000 at both home and office. Also use the same email address
at both locations.
I often send messages from one location to another and have set Outlook to
color-code messages received from myself in green.

The "problem" is that everything in my Sent Items folder is green since it
matches the rule "sent by me."

I could probably just create a view called "messages - sent items" and use
all of my formatting rules from "messages" except the color-coding, but that
would be to easy.

I would prefer to modify my "messages" rule and use the exception if it is
not in the Sent Items then color-code it.

So I have Automatic Formatting - Condition: In Folder doesn't contain
Sent Items


This is not changing the rule behavior. Anyone know how to use the "In
Folder" rule?

Thanks
