Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
I've used Thunderbird and now moving across to Outlook 2010, PC is Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit machine but I use 32 bit Office 2010.
I have 8 email addresses including 4 gmail addresses: all are IMAP. No exchange servers.
I believe that with IMAP, moving emails from the account inbox means they are no longer on the server so other devices can't see them anymore - happy to be corrected on this.
To solve this with Thunderbird I copy (not move) all emails to a Local Folders Inbox.
I then have a folder structure under that local folders Inbox.
I click a run rules button and it moves them (not copies) to the relevant sub folder. The result is that apart from spam and legit emails without a rule, the Local Folders inbox folder is emptied. Whilst the original emails are left in the inbox for each account.
Outlook 2010
I found a VBA routine on line that runs all rules in place and that works fine, I've even added the button to trigger that.
I have recreated the Thunderbird sub folders under the Outlook Data File Inbox.
I've created for each email account a rule that all messages are copied (not moved) to that Outlook Data File Inbox.
I'm believe that rules must be created under each account and I believe no rules can be created in any Outlook Data File folder or sub folder.
However, by going to Rules/Alert pop up and selecting Run Rules Now you can select the rules to run and they will run on any folder including any Outlook Data File.
Essentially, I want to automate this process of running all rules on the Outlook Data File Inbox.
I cannot work out how to make the VBA code select that Outlook Data File Inbox, then run all rules on just that Outlook Data File Inbox.
Again, I believe this is necessary because moving emails from the account email inbox, means they are downloaded which deletes them from the email provider's server so they are no longer available to be viewed on any other device.
I know I could copy all the emails from each account email inbox to the relevant sub folder and not bother copying to the Outlook Data File Inbox first. But this means I still need to regularly check all 8 email account inboxes in case an important email is in there for which I have not created a rule.
Please could you create this run rules code for me
