I noticed that sometimes when I create more than one Rule in Outlook for forwarding emails to specific folders, it happens to get one message to match the conditions of more than one rule, and I end up getting two or more copies of the same message (Reading one copy does not mark the others as read).

This is easy to fix…

Check “Stop processing ore rules”, and click “Finish”.

 

Note: Make sure you make the rule go up in the list to have higher priority:

I just noticed this now, and it’s really GREAT.

In previous versions of Outlook, you could add multiple Exchange accounts, but it’d create different “Profile” for each of them. When you open Outlook it would force you to choose only one profile to start with., An Outlook Mail Profile could handle any number of email accounts (HTTP, POP3, …) but only one Exchange account.

Now with Outlook 2010, you can add multiple Exchange accounts also and use them at the same time.

Two Things To Note

This works great and it has no special catches at all, except:

If you are upgrading from Outlook 2007 and you have two or more Exchange accounts, Outlook 2010 will NOT merge them together

If you think about it, it sort of makes sense. Each account already sits in its own profile. There is no way that Outlook 2010 will know whether you wanted to separate the two profiles intentionally or not.

You need to add the other exchange accounts from outside outlook

You need to close Outlook and add the other Exchange account from outside it. Otherwise you’ll get this message:
