Default How to run rules on secondary account?

There's nothing built into Outlook that would do that. VBA code would be a possibility, though.

After reviewing the slipstick article, I think this could be a problem.
All of my rules move messages from the inbox to a Local Folder. So I
don't think they can be server rules.

Are there any other ways to accomplish this?

Step-by-step:

1) Shut down Outlook.

2) Restart Outlook using a second mail profile that connects directly to the other mailbox.

3) Create your rules, remembering that only server-based rules will work in your scenario. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/serverbased.htm

4) Shut down Outlook.

5) Restart Outlook with your usual personal mail profile.

The rules you created in Step #3 will continue to be applied, by the server.
