Colouring old, unreplied to email in Outlook 2007

Question

I would like to use the "automatic formatting" of Outlook to create a rule similar to "expired emails" - but for the case when a sender hasn't set an expiry date on the email (which is most of the time).

I can see a rule about setting the time received is today, yesterday etc. - but I would like to set a condition "more than two days ago".

Is this possible? How can I do it.

Answer 1

Set up a conditional format (I believe this was called Automatic formatting before) with the condition Expires - On or before - two days ago, or three days ago if you wanted it exclusive of two days before.

You can also tick the More Choices -> Only items that are: -> Unread if that is what you wanted. Also, make sure you uncheck the current Expired Emails check box, or that will likely override your new formatting.
