Since you lot are more technically aware than the average I'd like to know how many of you use multi-condition email rules.

I'm just getting to the part of my app where I need to think of this again. M$ stuff allows ANDs and ORs in email rules. I've never used that and I'm wondering if building in the ability to have these very clever rules (eg if From contains bert AND its the second of march paint it pretty pink type of things) is interesting technically and no practical use whatsoever.

If any of you do use rules like this cn I have a sample please.

I use those AND OR all the time, like :
--------------------------------
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the To line contains 'xxx1@xxxxl.nl'
or Where the CC line contains 'xxx1@xxxxl.nl'
Move it to the xxx1 folder
and Stop processing more rules
-----------------------------

I use these frequently in OE also...mostly for sorting incoming emails into
folders.  I also use it for reminders from my ISP calendar forwarded to
whomever the calendar note states:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message body [contains 'only' and 'dae']
   [and] Where the message is from the [mycompany.calendar] account
Copy it to the [calendar-reminder] folder
   and Forward it to [dae@packbell*com]
   and Mark it as read
   and Stop processing more rules
