Using Rules to Move Messages Between Accounts

One common task users often want to perform is to move messages between accounts. Assume that you have two accounts: an Exchange Server account for work and a POP3 account for personal messages. You have specified the Exchange Server mailbox as the delivery location for new mail, so all your POP3 messages go into your Exchange Server Inbox. However, you now want those messages to go into an Inbox in a local .pst file instead of your Exchange Server mailbox. In this case, it’s a simple matter to move the personal messages from the Exchange Server Inbox to the POP3 Inbox. Just create a rule that moves messages that meet the specified conditions to your POP3 Inbox.
