Mail Rules: "on this machine only"
I use Outlook 2003. I have several rules to sort incoming mail. What
effect does the condition "on this machine only" have on incoming mail? Thank you. Bill

It means it's a client-side rule and will run only when Outlook is open on that specific computer. Some rules can be server-side rules when you use Outlook in conjunction with Exchange. In that case, the rule can run whether or not Outlook is open. If you don't have an Exchange mailbox, all rules are client-side. -- Brian Tillman

What happens if you try to export these rules and then import them on another system? I seem to recall that I tried that once, and none of the rules would work. I had to manually reset all the rules to what they were on the original machine. ILOO

Brian, This may be "correct" but it is amazingly user-hostile. Any way to remedy this without manually resetting each and every rule??? ILOO

When a rule is stored, the name of the machine on which it was created is stored as well and as far as I can tell, that's a hidden value that you cannot change. -- Brian Tillman
