Hi All,

We have had this error occur on a few of our many machines, we run
Outlook 2003 off an exchange server. We are also using Cached mode.
In the end we deleted the rules and recreated the OST file in the users
profile, after recreating the rule, it worked perfectly. Next time the
problem crops up we would like to try just recreating the ost and
seeing if that is enough.

Hope this helps some of you out there, as I could find virtually
nothing out there in the great wide web that would lead to any
definitive answers.

Good luck! it's a very frustrating issue.

State the method you used to move the PST.

If my folders were corrupted in the database, why would it be
possible for the rules to work in the manual mode? What is
different--so far as rule application is concerned--between manual
mode and automatic mode?

Have you tried changing each rule to point again to the correct folder?
Click the folder name and reselect the folder from the PST, saving the rule
when you finish.

Any and all suggestions would be welcomed!

Hi all,
I have rules setup in my Outlook 2003 at work, which have stopped
working for no apparent reason.

Outlook is running off an exchange server.

Now the rules in question are simple, they move mail sent from a
specified address to a specified folder.

The rules are set to run automatically, but when they do, an error
crops up stating Outlook cannot find the specified folder.

I have triple checked the rules, re-created the rules, deleted and
re- created the folders in question, but this still doesn't make the
rules work.

However I can run these rules manually and they work!

So what is causing the problem when it comes to Outlook doing them
automatically?

Thanks in advance,
Craig
