Rule to copy CC list to TO list

[dariusz_r]

Hi all,

I need help with the outlook rule. We have a group mailbox. The goal is to change all messages which are sent to this group by moving all the TO list to the CC list.

I know this has to be possible just don't know how to do it Anly help much appreciated!

It#s possible with a run-a-script-rule. The script would look like this:
public sub whatever(m as mailitem)
m.cc=m.to
m.to=""
m.save
end sub

Dear Michael, thank you for help!

I was not clear enough so I needed to change your script "not to lost the current cc list":
m.CC = m.CC + ";" + m.To
hope it's correct from the script point of view.

But I have one additional small question - when I'm testing this in my outlook it keeps asking me 'do I agree to use it' (and I can choose from 1m to 10m). What would happen if this script would be deployed on the server for the group mailbox? Can this be accepted 'permanently' or also those pop-up will "somewhere" pop up blocking the script?

You need to derive the object reference in a different way. See example #4 here:

Dim Mail As Outlook.MailItem
EntryID = NewMail.EntryID
StoreID = NewMail.Parent.StoreID
Set Session = Application.Session
Set Mail = Session.GetItemFromID(EntryID, StoreID)


Mail.CC = Mail.CC + ";" + Mail.To
Mail.Save
