Default After uninstall of Outlook 2007 Rules have Bad Format

I found a solution for it: If you can open Outlook Web Access, go into rules
from there and most likely one of the first rules will be something along
the lines of "De-categorize all messages" or something like that. It is a
rule that definitely looks out of place. I deleted that one and saved, then
i could edit my rules from within outlook again.

You, my friend, are brilliant. Who woulda thought going around the back and
using the lesser technology to fix the more complex would work with a
Microsoft product??? Awesome! Thanks for your help.
