Hi. Thanks to you and F.H. Muffman for your quick responses. In answer to
your questions:
I'm using Outlook 2007 (in Office Professioanl 2007) on my office computer
which is running Vista Home Premium.
One of my web sites is hosted by GoDaddy.com, and my 6 active email accounts
are POP3 accounts through GoDaddy in the general form of
"(e-mail address removed)," and the messages from all 6 are collected
into a single Inbox in Outlook 2007.
5 of those 6 accounts get very little spam, but my main email account (the
one that ALL of my clients have) has been found by spammers, and I get
between 100 and 200 spam messages a day on that account. It's not a serious
problem any longer, as I manually add all spamers Outlook's blocked senders
list, so only 4 or 5 spams per day make it to my Inbox; the rest go to my
Spam folder.
Last week I got a Blackberry and was horrified to find that ALL messages
sent to my main email account were getting through to the Blackberry -- not
just the messages which passed Outlook's spam filter and arrived in my Inbox.
That has meant that I've been manually deleting hundreds of messages from my
Blackberry each day.
What I want, then, is to get JUST those messages which have made it through
Outlook's spam and blocked senders filters and arrived in my Outlook Inbox.
That way as I update my Outlook blocked senders list each day, that also
updates the filters for the Blackberry email.
What I did was create a new email account "(e-mail address removed)" and
associated that account with my Blackberry. Now I want to set Outlook to
forward all messages which hit my Inbox to that Blackberry account. That way
my Blackberry will get just a few spam messages each day -- not hundreds.
I can't do this at the level of GoDaddy's server, because then the blocked
senders list I've been building up in Outlook for years will not longer be
filtering the message flow.
So that's what I'm trying to do -- and why. Is this the best way to
accomplish that goal?
Thanks,
Paul

No conditions is not checking anything on the conditions dialog - a warning
will come up when you hit next telling you that it will apply to all
messages.
Do you have other rules enabled?
What version of outlook? We are aware of a bug in Outlook 2007 post sp2
for reply with template - its possible that it affects forwards too.
Does your isp have a forwarding option? Log into the mailbox online to
check.

I want to forward ALL messages coming into my Inbox, but when I try to set
up
a New Rule to do that, I'm asked to se what conditions the forwarded
messages
must meet. Even though it would seem extremely obvious to have his
option, I
don't see a condition like "All messages" or "messages don't need to meet
any
conditions."
I tried just leaving all of the conditions blank (unchecked), but then
whenever a new message arrives, an error message pops up saying "The
message
you specified cannot be found." and the Rule is turned off.
It seems to me that forwarding ALL messages -- with no conditions --
should
be a very simple option to implement. What am I missing?
