Using Outlook 365.

I'm wanting to set up a rule that triggers when I receive a message sent to an e-mail group I'm a member of, but only if that's the only reason I'm receiving the message. If the message was also sent to me directly, or to a different mail group I'm a member of in addition to the first group, I'd like the rule not to trigger. Is there a way to do this? I hope I'm being clear in what I'm trying to accomplish.

So you want a 'if I'm the only recipient' but the "me" option won't work because the To address isn't your own address.

If the list of possible recipients will be limited, you could use a rule with exceptions- to the address, except if to the other address or to my address.

If that doesn't work, I have a macro that counts recipients.

Filter mail when you are not the only recipient

A user wanted "a rule that will perform an action if I am the only one in the To box, even when there are others in the CC box". He also asked for a rule "that will perform an action if I am included in the To box but am not the only one in the To box".

Thanks for the reply! Based on your response I think I was able to get it at least close to what I want using exceptions. I will have a look at that macro though.
