Outlook Address format change (Office 365)

mcginley50 · 2015-03-04 11:26

Hi,

I use renamer to rename Outlook emails in the format of date/sender/subject and it's worked perfectly. Now I have a issue that the email address format in renamer has changed and now I get the results below instead of the senders name. Any reason for this? Let me know if I need to provide any additional information but I'm hoping it's only a small issue,

Regards.

Which version of ReNamer are you using? Did it work differently in previous versions?

So far it looks like it is caused purely by the switch over to Office 365 (as mentioned in your email).

You can use a Replace or a RegEx rule to strip away not needed parts. If you provide few more examples then we can help you establish a generic pattern that works for them all.

Renamer works perfectly when renaming emails that we received but when we try and use the program to rename sent emails that's where the problem arises. I think it is a result of the Office 365 switchover. We had the problem on a previous version of Renamer and I updated to 6.1 and the problem still exists. I have attached an example below.

Please provide several examples of raw content from Outlook_Sender meta tags. This is needed to establish a common pattern which can then be converted to a RegEx rule for automatically removing not needed parts.

Take several emails and replace entire file name with Outlook_Sender meta tag. Post the new names here as plain text.

If its a sensitive content, you can send them in an email.

Add a RegEx rule, immediately after the rule that inserts Outlook_Sender meta tag:
* RegEx: Replace expression "/O=.*/CN=[^\-]+\-" with "" (skip extension)

It converts patterns like these:
