Through the specified account in rules

[BBran]

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?

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?

OK, thank you very much.

I'm not sure what Milly meant.

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