Is there an alternative?
At my peak, I've had dozens of rule sets checking every new incoming
email message, each having between a few and maybe 4 to 40 complex
compound conditions (e.g., or's of multiple and's of multiple or's).
The main action for each ruleset would be to move the email to a
particular folder for that kind of message (based on subject or body
substring, &/or the sender, &/or whether I was to: or cc: or bcc: &/or
whether there was a reminder flag set, etc.). Sometimes email would
also be forwarded to someone else, or the subject line would be
forwarded to a cell phone.
As a last resort, I'd consider writing my own VBA code, but I don't
have a clue how to trigger the VBA for newly incoming emails and pass
their identity to the VBA code, and keep track of move-to folders as
they get renamed, and process each message fast enough so that I don't
miss the next incoming message. A Vista-compatible add-in seems the
only practical solution, if there is one that can handle complex
filtering rules. Is there one?
