    wait until all macros are finished

    I have a few 'If/Then' statements in my 'thisoutlooksession'. The issue seems to be that because I get tons of email, that sometimes I will get two or more emails at a time that trigger that macro. So, I assume it tries to run the same macro twice at the same time. Any way to run that macro once and not run it again until it is finished? Or is what I'm explaining even a problem?

    Yes this is a problem if you macro takes long time to finish. Outlook will process the macro as soon as the emails come it. Can you show us how are you triggering the macro and what does the macro contain? We might be able to suggest a solution.

    Re: wait until all macros are finished

    Essentially its as simple as:

    If subject contains 'one' Then
    (do stuff)
    End If

    If subject contains 'two' Then
    (do stuff)
    End If

    The issue is, if I get two emails in one send/receive, one email containing 'one' and another containing 'two', then (I would assume) the same macro would try and run twice. Any way to fix this situation?

    The best way to handle this by creating 2 rules and pointing them towards two different macros

    IT would be goot to have this 2 columns

    -Subject
    -Recieved
    -Read

    First you count how many Subject one you have with mark that they are not still opened.
    After that you tell him to run macro and apply it on the the mail that contains in subject "one" but, is is znread, and has been recieved first.
