Rules & Alerts doesn't always work in Outlook 2003
Specs: Outlook 2003 SP3, Windows Vista 64-bit Ultimate [both fully patched]
Problem: I have a nunch of rules. They work but not always. I have one that checks for a specific text phrase in the message header. If found it will forward a copy of the message as an attachment and then delete the message [not permanently]. The address is valid. But when a message comes in with the specific text, it seems to be ignored. If I manually run the rules on where the "offending" message, it does actually do what its suppost to do. It's almost like Outlook is ignoring the rul or thinks it doesn't apply. |

Rules & Alerts doesn't always work in Outlook 2003
Does it work when you disable all your other rules?
You probably have a conflicting rule configured or you need to resort your rules and use the action "stop processing more rules" accordingly. For details see; http://www.msoutlook.info/question/340 This also could apply to you; http://www.msoutlook.info/question/133 -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Gis Bun" wrote in message ...
