Personal Folder Question
Is there a way I can set up a personal folder for each email account I use. Right now I have a POP3/Gmail account and an Exchange2000/Business account.
Right now the rules I create for them conflict and don't operate right.

Tell us the rules, instead. Fixing those would be far easier.

Well, I wanted them on different personal folders because I move them often.
Anyway the rules are in this order.
Remove out to lunch messages:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
through the Exchange Server account
and with 'this word' or that word' in the subject
and on this machine only
delete it
Exchange Server:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
through the Exchange Server account
and on this machine only
move it to the Exchange Server folder
POP3 Account:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
through the POP3 account
and on this machine only
move it to the POP3 folder
Remove Rate Sheets:
Apply this rule after the messages arrives
through the Exchange Server account
and with 'thisdomain.com' or 'thatdomain.com'
and on this machine only
delete it
I also had a rule that would move any email message with my email address in it to be moved to another folder. I coun't get it to work right so I removed it.
Also I am running Outlook 2003, I didn't mention that.

Make it run last.
That could be part of the problem.
I run 2003 also.
Perhaps you need to run a repair...I mean...could be just about anything.
You might want to explain "don't operate right" a little better. Give us a few scenarios. :)

the problem was I was changing the order of them so they kept functioning differently. so I really didn't know what it was doing any more :o)
It looks like now, it is removing the emails sometimes and sometimes it isn't...

Change them all to go to folders with the rule title as the folder name (or similar, you know?). Then see what's happening...
Sorry...wish I could be more helpful.

TY.. Sorry there wasn't a better way. Although one (lame-o) idea would be when you create the user's email address, create a .pst for them, secured with UID=their network|email|whatever name, and PWD=Network ID.

I think I'll just suffer through it. Thanks :o)
