The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Create Outlook Macro to move selected item to a specific folder

Asked by GeoJono in Visual Basic Programming, Email Clients, Exchange Email Server

Tags: Visual Basic, Outlook, Macro

I found this VB Macro that allows me to do a Gmail-type archive of my mail, and it works great.  However, I have more than one Exchange mailbox in my Outlook and I'd like to have the macro move an item to a different folder depending on which mailbox the selected item is in.  I know nothing of VB, so I need your help on this.

I have 2 relevant mailboxes:
Mailbox - Jono Martin (primary/default)
Mailbox - IT Support

Currently, I have a folder inside Mailbox - Jono Martin called "All Mail".  When I hit the button to run the macro, it moves the selected email to that folder.

I tried creating another macro and changing the folder name in the macro to a folder in Mailbox - IT Support, but I got an error stating that the folder could not be found.  This led me to believe that it only looks in Mailbox - Jono Martin for the folder name.

Ideally, I'd like the single macro to act as follows:
If the selected email is in:
   Mailbox - Jono Martin  --  move it to the "All Mail" folder that is in the same mailbox.
If the selected email is in:
   Mailbox - IT Support  --  move it to the "All IT Mail" folder that is in the IT Support mailbox.

If that's not possible, I'd like to have a separate macro to move the selected item to the "All IT Mail" folder under the IT Support mailbox.

Thanks for all your help.
Jono
