My OS is windows 7 and I use Outlook 2007. Like everyone I guess, I too receive lots of emails, and I am trying to automate the process of filing them into the various folders and moving them out of the Inbox.
1. Can an incoming email be edited. i.e. Can I open it, and then add say some text at the beginning of the email.
If NO, can this be done thru code.
I am thinking of then adding a ID number, and then when all the incoming emails in the Inbox have been so inserted with a code, and then run a macro that would move the emails one by one into the respective folders as specified by the Code at the beginning of the email.
Eg. if the email has a code of GEPR,
Then it would be moved to the Folder Called "GE Credit Card", and the subfolder "Payment",. where "Payment" would be the final destination.
Is there a better way of doing this thing or some other way.
It is a painful task of filing each email one by one to the respective folders, lots of clicks.
thank u.
Try sorting the messages by sender and moving them in bulk by selecting more than one at a time using shift-click.
You can set up rules as well. You can move messages into folders based on certain senders for example. You can even apply the rules to messages which have already been received. I'm not sure what your qualification is for moving a message.
