I have a user who receives the following message when trying to create a new
rule in Outlook 2003:

"One or more rules could not be uploaded to exchange server and have been
deactivated"

The user is on an Exchange server. He has a LOT of rules, so I suspect he's
bumping up against the known 32k rule limit. That said, aside from the
standard advise of consolidate/delete rules, how do we get around this? The
user wants to create MANY more rules, so I need a good workaround.

Idea #1: Anyone know what the rule limit is in Outlook 2007?

Idea #2: It may help to know that the goal of the rules is to have all mail
to/from named individuals go to designated folders. For example, for John
Smith, there are two rules - one puts all mail sent to him in the John Smith
folder, and one puts all mail received from him in the John Smith folder. If
someone has an effective solution to do that, that would be a passable
solution, too.

Thanks,

Michael
