MS OUTLOOK 2003: Is there a way to have Outlook auto generate a task from a regular e-mail?

You can simply drag the email into your tasks folder.  It will automatically open a new task dialog with the email's subject and text already filled in.

The option appears to be intended for mail messages not the main Outlook screen...while composing a message go to Tools - Customize and the option is clickable.

I am very surprised to say that after looking through the message rules setup in Outlook 2003 (I don’t have 2000) multiple times; I can’t find a way to do this. But I do have some suggestions:\n\nFirst: you should consider switching to Mozilla Thunderbird (free, mozilla.com). It will not only do what you want, but it is more secure, has MUCH better spam controls, and can be almost infinitely customized with the hundreds of extensions available to it (along with other advantages). Plus; it is free and you can import your email, address book, and settings from Outlook.\n\nSecond: if you would rather not switch, try going to Microsoft. Click on "Get answers from other Office users" at:\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus.aspx?Sitename=1\nand ask your question there.\n\nThird: if no one can answer your question there, I have figured out a way that will probably work; but it’s not pretty (or very easy). Keep in mind that I am using Outlook 2003, so you may have to do some things differently. Also, this will only work if you do not use the category function of Outlook. I am using your example (filter editorial AND conference AND room):\n\nTo do this, first create a rule that basically says ‘if the message has "editorial" in the body, then assign it to the Business category’. Then, create a rule that basically says ‘if the message has "conference" in the body AND is assigned to the Business category, then assign it to the Business and Competition category’. Finally, create a rule basically saying ‘if the message has "room" in the body AND is assigned to the Business and Competition category, then flag it with red’.\n\nAs you can see, I am using Outlook’s ability to use ‘and’ with different types of conditions and with categories. Of course you set the final action to whatever you want (instead of flagging it with red). You can also use different categories--or possibly even use a different condition altogether (instead of using categories). You can set it to look in the subject (or subject and body) for the words, and you can change, add, or delete some words with a few changes (if you want to add any words you have to add a new rule and add a new category); but you have to keep the rules in that order.\n\nI hope this helps!

Something has to hit the page - and that does mean, yes, either a user hits it, or a scheduled task (chron job) does.\n\nYour alternative is to write a service in .NET or C++ that runs locally on the machine and does your mailing. ASPEmail, by the way, is not the most efficient way to be using email, since it has to establish an SMTP connection out to a server for each email. Have you considered CDO?

You will probably have to get some software such as "GoToMyPC" or something similar, if you keep your work PC on all the time with Outlook running.  If Outlook is running, as soon as e-mail hits the mail server, it is sent to your PC and resides there.  \n\nIf you turn Outlook off or shut down your work PC, whoever operates your mail server needs to provide you remote logon access to it.  \n\nI hope this helps.

If your using Microsoft Outlook, I'm pretty sure this can be done with the Delegate feature in Outlook...\n\nWith this you can have a personal assistant having access to the directors mailbox, incase they wish it to be managed by the delegate. \n\nThis has to be set up with the permission tab, the Director can then choose what permissions they can give to their delegate, from viewing their Outlook Calander to having total contol of creating items, and e-mails...\n\nWhen they send an E-mail the Delegate is also able have the option to send on the behalf of the persons mailbox they have permissions too...\n\nHope this helps, the link below should help clear most ambiguty

Hi Gladysgrandma,\n\nThe feature of auto-responder is tied to the mail server and not to programs like outlook express or just regular outlook or the user-end of Yahoo! Mail. Programs like Outlook Express or the full featured Outlook are programs that go to the mail server to retrieve mail. In Outlook, you can go to Tools->Out-of-office assistant and send an auto-responds to all e-mails coming in as long as the mail service provider has this feature. What is hidden behind the scenes is that Outlook goes to the Microsoft Exchange Server (in my case), which is a mail server, and tells the server to auto respond to e-mails. This allows me to not have my computer on all the time. \n\nThink of the mail server as the U.S. Post Office and programs like Outlook or Outlook Express as your mail box at home. If you wanted mail to stop being delivered (for example), you wouldn't go to your home's mailbox and tell it. You would go to the U.S. post office and do it there and it would be them that would hold your mail or redeliver your mail or whatever.\n\nThis brings us to the next question as to whom your mail service provider is for your e-mails since Outlook Express goes there to retrieve your mail. To make an analogy, Outlook or Outlook express or similiar programs is both a mailman and a mailbox. Once you figure who your mail service provider is, then you can go to them and ask how to set up a auto-responder as different mail providers do things different. Who knows, maybe they have a way to do it through outlook express as well.\n\nI hope this helps you in some way.

If running Outlook connected to an Exchange server this is very easy. If on something like Yahoo then you would have to have them do a restore and that's not going ot happen.

Set up an exchange server.  If you have an ISP with e-mail calendars you can export your calendar from Outlook and import it online.

I don't know about Outlook Express 6, I don't even know how old Outlook Express 6 is.  About everyone I know is using 2002 or 2003.  Oh well.  Even Microsoft has removed that help section.  Anyway, you might be able to make use of these instructions which are for Outlook 2003.  They might be of some help.\n\n   1.  On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.\n   2. Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.\n   3. Click POP3, and then click Next.\n   4. Under User Information, do the following:\n         1. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way that you want it to appear to other people.\n         2. In the E-mail Address box, type your member ID user name, followed by the @ symbol and your domain name from the table above.\n\n            Note  Contact SBC Yahoo! customer service if you do not know your member ID, domain, or password.\n   5. Under Server Information, do the following:\n         1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type the POP3 server that corresponds to your domain name.\n         2. In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type the SMTP server that corresponds to your domain name.\n   6. Under Logon Information, do the following:\n         1. In the User Name box, type your user ID as shown in the table above.\n         2. In the Password box, type your password.\n         3. Select the Remember password check box.\n\n            Note  You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account; however, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer. Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.\n   7. To verify that your account is working, click Test Account Settings. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be prompted to supply or correct it. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.\n   8. Click More Settings.\n   9. On the General tab, under Mail Account, type SBC Yahoo!.\n  10. Click the Outgoing Server tab, and then select the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication check box.\n  11. Click Use same settings as my incoming mail server, and then click OK.\n  12. Click Next, and then click Finish.\n\nNotes\n\n    * Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.\n    * Unless specified by SBC Yahoo!, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters.\n\nSee Microsoft for more information.  Maybe someone else will have the exact instructions for version 6.
