I can only find a rule that moves the email straight away. Which would be no good, because if i go and take a pee and come back its gone !

Rules run when emails are received or sent. Or when you click the Run Rules now function. -- Judy Gleeson [MVP Outlook] Acorn Training and Consulting www.acorntraining.com.au Everyone - turn on your Advanced Toolbars and learn how to use the Field Chooser and Group by Box!!
