Rule for secondary e:mail

G

Gordon Price

I have two e:mail addresses configured in Exchange, one is primary, the other
is an old one that I want to recieve e:mail from for a time. I would like to
make a rule that puts all e:mail to the alternate address into a folder in my
inbox, while all e:mail to the new address just goes to the inbox. If I
create a rule based on the To field, all I get is my single AD account, there
is no option to differentiate between the two e:mails. Anyone have any
suggestions?
The main reason for this is we are changing our e:mail naming convention
from (e-mail address removed) to (e-mail address removed), to address growth and
conflicts (we have had two Davids, for example). But we need to keep
recieving e:mail on the old name for a time, until everyone we correspond
with has been updated with the new addresses. I would like to filter out the
old addres into a seperate folder so we know who is still using it and needs
to be reminded. Once someone goes a month or so with no e:mail to the old
address then we can kill it for that person.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gordon

Use "with specific words in the recipients address" instead.
