Hello NG,

since Oulook 2003 the rules are stored in the pst-file. When I create a
new datafile (Unicode) and copy the total content (mails, folders,
calendar et cetera) from the existing file in the new one, the rules
also will be copied. Now my question is, on which point during copying
the rules will be copied.

I hope my question is somewhat plain. :-)

Why not simply re-use the outlook.pst file rather than copying? Move the
..pst file to a location of your choice and use File-Open.

I know how to open a pst-file :-). I only wanted to know for interest at
which point during copying the content from a pst-file to an other the
rules will be copied.

You would need a third party program to parse the copying process to see
exactly when the rules portion gets copied over. I know of no such program.
Perhaps you would do better to post in a programming group where someone
might know of such a program.

OK. Thank you for your replys. I thought that there is a concrete point
during copying.

Undoubtably there is, but most likely no one knows it outside of Microsoft.
