Outlook Search Folder for External Senders
I'm using the Outlook M365 desktop app on the current channel and Exchnage 2019 in Hybrid mode with Exchange Online. We route all mail inbound and outbound via Exchange Server. I'd like to create a search folder in Outlook to show only mails from external senders. The issue is the only criteria I can seem to create would rely on the From field and this seems to map to the SenderName on the MailItem object in Outlook. This is not the actual sender's mail address that would include the @domain etc but rather seems to be the senders name which is arbitrary from I can see e.g SomeSender.
How to create a search folder based on the senders actual address?
According to Diane_Poremsky_MVP's post, you should be able to achieve this by filtering on "@": https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/filter-internal-mail-from-external-mail/
