Note that string comparison is not case sensitive, no wildcards allowed, however partial names are allowed. So matching your company email against contents of "From:" field will never return any positive results. Only the actual names can be found in "From:" field.Ĭonditional formatting does simple matching of given strings against contents of given fields. When you look at "From:" field you will realize that your email address is simply not there. You can simply check it by exporting the entire message to text format and opening it with your text editor. In your case it resolves to your name (won't be mentioning it in the post). Within the company, Outlook will resolve known emails to email alias or actual names. This will not work for you with your company internal email addresses. How can I make it work with simple email addresses ? If I set the "FROM" field ( via pressing "From." and select myself from a list) - with my outlook NAME which is "Royi Namir" ( as opposed to specify my direct email) as in here :Īm I missing something here ? because it should work in both cases. Why don't I see the RED color in the work mail ? Ok so let's test it by sending work mail to myself :
