Hello,

I am using Outlook 2007 on XPSP2.

What does "Through the specified account" under conditions in rules mean?
Does that mean any e-mail that comes to a specified account or comes from a
specified account or what?

Thanks,
Bob

That means that mail received from "@hotmail.com" or whatever will be =
filtered using that rule.

it means if you have two email accounts configured in outlook, that the rule
only applies to the specified acct.

I am not sure I follow. Does that mean the opposite of what Milly Staples
wrote? In other words does that mean it applies to mail that comes TO the
specified account?

I'm not sure what Milly meant.

How it really works: If you have two accounts in your profile, one for your
address bbran@nowhere.com and one for your me@rr.com address, the condition
"Through the specified account" can be used to move all mail sent to
me@rr.com to a different folder or flag it or apply any of the other actions
available.
