Outlook – How to create a rule for a contact group/distribution list in order to move emails to a certain folder for Outlook 2013

emailemail-clientmicrosoft-outlookoutlook-addin

I created a rule for a contact group/distribution list in order to move emails to a certain folder. It works without any problems. Let's call this group 'distgroup'.

However, for some emails that comes to the group email(distgroup), 'To' and 'From' fields are same as 'From'. Normally 'To' field is supposed to be 'distrgroup'.

Because of this, when I cannot run the same rule for this type of emails since group email address is not written in either 'To' or 'From'. It doesn't move that emails to my certain folder.

Is there any solutions about it?

I have an idea to resolve this but ı am not sure how I can do it.
If somehow I can set a rule such as if my name is not in To field and CC Field, move the mails to the specific folder.

This may be the solution. But I don't know if this is possible.

Best Answer

Although I still think the best to do is to use the List-Unsubscribe header, as your last idea describe you could use the except rule.

On the Rules Wizard, select Move messages from someone to a folder and click Next:

On the conditions, unselect "from people or public group", click Next and Yes on the pop-up question:

enter image description here

On actions, specify the destination folder, and select Next:

enter image description here

Now you select the exception and click Next:

enter image description here

Save your new rule, click Finish:

enter image description here

Your final rule would look like:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
move it to MyFolder folder
except where my name is not in the To box
stop processing more rules
