Any known issues with "sender in Address Book" rules?
 
I recently moved to Outlook 2003 in cached Exchange mode. I'm having funny
problems with rules, mainly ones which act if the "sender is in the specified
Address Book" and move the message to a specific folder. I've given up on
having the rules actually fire upon message receipt, but I could get by if
they work when I fire them manually.

However, I've got messages that won't get picked up by the rule. I've
re-added the contact from the message and moved said contact to the
appropriate address book - and the message is still ignored. This, even
though SOME messages from the same contact might actually get recognized and
moved by the rule.

At first, I thought it might be the difference between Exchange contacts and
other contacts - but I do have some Exchange contacts that correctly get
found in the appropriate Address book and moved. If it has to do with
differences between the types of contacts being received, so far it's been to
subtle for me to find.

At this point, I'd be happy just to hear "forget it, it won't work", so I
can stop wasting my time. Otherwise, I'll be happy to check any and all
options that folks might want to know.
