What does "only on this machine" mean in rule description . Does it refer to
different accounts? I work on one computer (part of a LAN) and do not use an exchange changer. Might the reason be that I have re-imported an old pst (archive) file? When checking mail, Outlook also seems to check al my account three or four times; is this perhaps a related problem? Thanks. |

it refers to different computers. It's present even if you only use one
computer. How many accounts are in your profile?

Thanks for your reaction.
I have three different accounts in my profile, on three different servers. It appears that some of my rules are for 'this' and some for another "machine" I don't understand how this has come about.

It did not and when I click 'Run rules now' I don't even see the rule in the
list (whereas I do see it in the normal listing of rules, with 'for other machine' added). I made the rule again and now it works. Actually what I think is that the problems is/was, is that I have two Personal Folders directories (presumably because of importing a second .pst file) and that I made the original rule based on an existing mail that was in my second Personal Folders. Outlook seems to 'think' that this is a different computer. Would that be possible? (Problem seems more or less solved, but I am still curious on what was going on...) "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ... it has nothing to do with the accounts - it's just a normal thing outlook adds to rules.

Outlook seems to 'think' that this is a different computer. Entirely possible because the name of the computer on which the PST was created can be stored in the PST for certain data in the PST (like rules). Never import from a PST. There's no reason, it loses data, and can corrupt your mail profile. -- Brian Tillman |

FileOpenOutlook Data File is the way to access the old data. Then copy from the original folders to the new ones. See this: You mean the difference is in importing versus opening the pst file? Is it anyhow possible to merge the contents of a backup file into an existing Pst file? |

Drag-and-drop merges well enough, unless multiple items refer to the same object (i.e., two contact records for one contact), then it's open one and edit. -- Brian Tillman |
