Outlook 2010 forward emails after specific time.

Source: http://danfolkes.com/2011/02/18/outlook-rule-only-at-specific-times/

I wanted to create a forward so that helpdesk email gets forwarded to my phone on my personal email. Setting up helpdesk email was the easy way but it gets 20+ emails every hour during work time. After work hours its pretty much quite. So for those times I wanted the rule.

Rules which needs to be created :-

Quoted from the post below :-

"
The Rule that will check email header* for UTC times. Make sure it’s assigned to the FWD category. And then FWD it:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
with '2011 23:' or '2012 18:,2012 19:.....2012 11:' in the message header
    and assigned to 'FWD' category
forward it to 'email@example.com'
"

Seach for this string in header.

2012 18:,2012 19:,2012 20:,2012 21:,2012 22:,2012 23:,2012 24:,2012 01:,2012 02:,2012 03:,2012 04:,2012 05:,2012 06:,2012 07:,2012 08:,2012 09:,2012 10:,2012 11:

  1. The 24-hour clock uses 00:00 - 00:59 to represent midnight to 12:59am. It does not have 24:.

  2. Outlook is a well-known email client with a myriad of advanced features. It comes with an Outlook rules feature that makes email management easier for you by letting you sort and filter emails. However, you may encounter the Outlook rule not working issues due to a number of reasons. But you can resolve the issue with the following methods. First, make sure you have enabled the Outlook rules. Your Outlook rules may not work if the send/receive settings (SRS) file is damaged in Outlook. So, reset the SRS file and check if the issue is resolved. Moreover, the size available for Outlook rules is limited, so reduce the amount of space used by rules. If the Outlook rules are lengthy, edit and cut it shorter. Also, delete the old rules that you do not need. Also, Outlook rules are divided into client-based and server-based. You should know that the client-based rules work only when Outlook email is active. However, there is a possibility that your client's based rule is not working because Outlook is not running. In that case, convert rules into server-based rules to make it work even when Outlook is not running. If nothing works, delete and recreate the Outlook rules.
