Changing the Subject of an E-Mail You Receive

If you personalize a subject, the new subject displays in your Mailbox and Calendar and in the Mailbox and Calendar of anyone who proxies for you. If you change the subject of an item in a shared folder, other users of the shared folder still see the original subject.

  1. Open an item from your Mailbox or Calendar.

  2. Click the Personalize tab.

  3. Type a new subject in the My Subject field.

To see the original subject, open the item and look in the Subject field in the item header.

When you perform a Find with a specific word in the Subject field, the Find results show items whose original subject or personalized subject contains this word. When you create an Advanced Find, use the Subject field to search for the original subject, and use the My Subject field to search for the personalized subject.

When you create a rule that looks for a specific word in the Subject field, the rule only looks at the original subject.
