Is there a way to create a rule in Outlook 2007 so that multiple
search text rules for a single condition are chained together with AND
rather than OR, or using a wildcard or regular expression? I'm trying
to match an email from a particular sender with a subject like "Issue:
123456 was updated - Some Description Blah Blah Blah", where the
number 123456 can be any number and the descriptive text will vary.
The tricky part is that there are similar emails with subjects like
"Issue:123456 was added - Some Description Blah Blah Blah" that I
don't want filtered. AFAICT, without wildcards or regex support, I'll
need the rule to be based on three conditions: the specific sender,
the subject starting with the text "Issue:" and the subject containing
the text "was updated". So far, I have only been able to get the two
subject line word searches to be OR'd...
Conversely, I want to setup a search folder to show both Unread items
from the inbox OR anything marked with a particular category or flag
(read or unread). Search folder criteria seem to default to being ANDd
together, but for this purpose I need them to be ORd. Is there a way
to do that?
Thanks,
