Rule option OR

[Cheryl]

Is there a simple way to create a rule with an OR instead of an AND condition?
For example, I want one rule to delete e-mail either from a specific address
OR with specific words in the FROM address. I only see an option to delete
mail from the specific address AND with the specific words in the FROM
address. Both may not appear in a single e-mail, but I want both to be
deleted. Shouldn't need to create two separate rules.

I meant to add that I'm using Outlook 2007.

Yes, you should create 2 rules for that.

Rules don't support OR expect in the same condition - from mary OR john.
From mary OR with john in the subject will not work - you will need two
separate rules.

However - in your example you should be able to make it work using the
method at http://outlook-tips.net/howto/rules.htm. Enter the names in the
members field using a semicolon separator: @smith.com; (e-mail address removed).
