Outlook 2007 rules import format or syntaxis
Hi,
I have Outlook 2007 we certain rules. I would like to delete them all and start from scratch. The idea is that e-mails sent or received with a certain domain be movedo to a certain folder or e-mails to or from a certain e-mail address be sent to a subfolder.
I would like to know if this is possible to create the rules using an editor (text or similar) to create the rules. If so I need the syntaxis to use or the rule export format that then could be imported into Outlook. Also how to import those rules into Outlook.
TIA

Wizard is slow. also when sending an e-mail I would like to have it moved to a folder not to have a copy of it in it. This way porting rules would also be simpler.
Perhaps a script woul do it. Any examples in how to do it?
Basically the rules would be
Incoming e-mails:
a) any e-mail with sender =@domain_of_sender.whateve
b) any e-mail with sender name@whatever.whatever MOVE it to folder or subfolder "whatever" or any other name we might consider
Outgoing e-mails
a) any e-mail sent to=@domain_of_sender.whate
b) any e-mail sent to name@whatever.whatever MOVE it to folder or subfolder "whatever" or any other name we might consider

"I would like to know if this is possible to create the rules using an editor (text or similar) to create the rules."
No, that's not possible. You have two options. One, create the rules using the Outlook GUI. Two, write a script that creates the rules. Why would you want to create the rules using a text editor? How would that be simpler or better than creating them using Outlook's rules wizard?
