Running rules on mailbox other than the default
I seem to remember someone on her saying that rules in Outlook won't run on
anything other than the default mailbox. I'm curious to know why that is and if anyone has ideas on how to get around that. My situation is as follows...I'm running Outlook 2003 that connects through Microsoft Exchange Server (I don't know which version). I have 3 different mailbox folders that I can access in Outlook: My personal mailbox (all the mail that comes in addressed to me), a mailbox for security issues (all the mail that comes in addressed to the security email), and another one for administrative emails (all the mail that comes in addressed tot he administrative email). I have no problems getting rules to run for all the email in my personal mailbox, but I can't seem to get any rules to run for the other 2 mailboxes. It seems like the main problem is that all of these mailboxes are under the same account, i.e. the Microsoft Exchange Server, so there is no way to distinguish one mailbox from another in the rules. Any ideas? -Brian Beck |

Running rules on mailbox other than the default
Outlook's Rules Wizard stores rules in your own default mailbox. It can't store rules for another location, e.g. in another mailbox.
If you want to create rules that run on some other mailbox, start Outlook with a profile that logs into that mailbox as its default mailbox. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Brian Beck" wrote in message ...
