How to set an Outlook rule to find emails where you are the ONLY one on the TO: line. There are rule options for determining if email was sent ONLY to you, but I need to identify where my email address is the ONLY one on the "TO:" line but there may be others who where copied on the "CC:" line. There is a way to HIGHLIGHT these, but I need to be able to identify and MOVE them to another folder for quick access.

I know this post is super old, but I just got here with the same question, so I'm going to answer in case someone else does, too.

There are now (in 2022) some options in the Rules Wizard (i.e., the pop-up that walks you through setting-up the rules) to help you with this. If you have trouble reaching it, type "rules" into the search bar in Outlook.

On the "which condition(s) do you want to check?" page of the wizard, check the box next to "sent only to me."

And/Or, on the "Are there any exceptions?" page of the Rules Wizard (i.e., the pop-up that walks you through setting-up the rules), check the box for "except if sent only to me."
