Gmail has labels. What exactly are you asking for?
Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other. Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.
I'm suggesting it as a solution to his request.

Make people read the entire email.

I would go more for "make people read what I wrote, not what they want to read"
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I work with clients and third party vendors. Sometimes, I want an email to go both into the client folder and the third party vendor folder, as the email is related to both. :sigh: Your turn!

Deluxe version may allow a variety of voltage setting - and allow for higher current, as well. (obligatory pun: Who could resist such an application?)

That would be unacceptable current usage. Even so, it has the potential to succeed. More power to you!

Sadly, we're using Outlook 365, and if there are labels, I don't know how to use them. :laugh:

Abusing Extension Methods, Null Continuation, and Null Coalescence OperatorsAn email app that explains to people what the difference between CC and BCC is ... Just before I went down with Covid, I ordered 50m of Stihl strimmer wire as I didn't have much 1.75mm diameter wire left for my petrol strimmer and I like to buy quality. And due to Covid lockdowns, it was delayed - the eBay shop sent me an email to explain that, asked for patience. No problem, except it was CCed to 40 odd other people, giving me all their emails ... and them mine :doh: Mind you, it had one benefit once the wire arrived and somebody noticed it wasn't the genuine article ... and he had a list of fellow customers to check against ... :laugh:

You'd have power over them, that's for certain.

Reply all with an explanation of how dumb it is. It doesn't solve anything, but it feels nice. And it's deserved, I'd do it again.

When a message matches this filter the actions will be run in this order: 1. Copy Message to lou on Local Folders 2. Move Message to comodo on Local Folders I use Popfile along with Thunderbird. I can insert anything in subject line with popfile. Every email client I have ever used has kudos and warts. Lou
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

"Normal" versions of Outlook definitely allows this with rules, as can be seen when you accidentally set up the same rule twice.

Abusing Extension Methods, Null Continuation, and Null Coalescence OperatorsOutlook (at least the desktop client) allows you to add multiple user defined categories to any email, sounds like the same functionality as Gmail labels. You can definately filter by category as well.
