Forwarded mails to a folder
in Outlook 2013

Another big problem not address normally (which should have been) by MicroSoft.

If you want to create rule for mails that are auto forwarded from someone to you,
you cannot my simple means. It would have been great if MS has provided a straight
forward option in rules setup to identify those mails which are auto forwarded,
provided the document has a property called “Auto Forwarded”. (This you can verify
by adding column of “Auto forwarded” by going to View Setting -> Columns and then
selecting Auto forwarded — This will add a column with title “Auto Forwarded” and
will show a tick mark for mails which are auto forwarded).

So, what now?

After digging for two days, I found a solution — By creating a script and assigning it
to the rule.

Press Alt + F11 to open up the Visual basic editor, double click on
ThisOutlookSession object, and create a procedure with following signature:

1 Public Sub YourProcName (Item As Outlook.MailItem)


2
3 'code
4
5 End Sub

vba

Now put following code in your procedure:

1 Public Sub MyAutoForwardRule(Item As Outlook.MailItem)


2
3 Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
4 Dim myDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
5
6 Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
7 Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
8
9 ' Assumes destination folder is directly under the Inbox
10 Set myDestFolder = myInbox.Folders("AF_Mails")
11
12 If Item.AutoForwarded Then
'move message
13 Item.Move myDestFolder
14 End If
15
16 Set myDestFolder = Nothing
17 Set myInbox = Nothing
Set myNameSpace = Nothing
18
19 End Sub
20
21
22
So, the programming part is over.

1. Now create a new rule.


2. Select “Apply rule on messages I receive” and click next
3. Select “From people or public group”, and select the person who auto forwards you
mails, click next
4. Select “Run a script”. A box will appear with all public procedures in you VBA. Select
procedure that you just created above.

Select Script

5. Save your rule

and, Enjoy!!
