asked on

auto saving email with same subject heading to server directories

not sure exactly what category this should come under but i'll start here. I have a user who gets a lot of email from newsgroups. he saves these to general directories on a win2k3 server. we no longer maintain our exchange/public folders for this so he has to store these on one of our servers so others can search through them. a solution we need is one that can overcome the issue of saving messages that have the same subject heading to directories versus moving them to exchange public folders (which was a lot easier). Outlook seems limited in it's rules language to accomplish this.

Hi demus619,

This would require some VBA code that would check to see if a file with a matching name already exists and, if so, rename it or append a sequence number to it.  I can post code for doing this if this sounds like an option.

Cheers!
