For various reasons, we moved a users pst file to another location. &nbsp; After doing so, the Outlook Rules for incoming email began throwing errors about being unable to find folders.<br />
<br />
The rules were set to move certain messages to specific folders i.e. If from XYZ, move to folder Inbox\XYZ.<br />
<br />
When I look at the rules they appear to be &quot;relative&quot; references to the inbox i.e. independent of where the pst file is located. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Has anyone else seen this happen after a move of the pst? &nbsp;Ideas welcome.
