Create the rules with a second Outlook profile that logs directly into that mailbox. Note that only server-based rules will run.

I have a secondary email account. Both primary and secondary accounts
are on the same Exchange server. I use Outlook 2003. I access the inbox
of the secondary account from my primary account's profile by opening
it as File / Open / Other Users Folder.

The secondary mailbox appears in the bottom of my "all Mail Folders"
tree, and new messages show up as expected.

However, rules do not run on this secondary inbox. I have a number of
on-arrival rules to sort the incoming mail in the secondary account.

How can I configure Outlook so on-arrival rules will run on both the
primary and secondary accounts? I have configured the secondary account
to get around the 32K limit on rules, so forwarding the secondary
account to the primary is not a solution.
