I have a PC with Outlook 2010 installed. &nbsp;I just bought a laptop for home use and installed Outlook 2010 there as well. &nbsp;I moved my PST file on to an external hard drive so that I could go back and forth between work to attend to emails etc. &nbsp;The PST has about 6 email accounts with different folders and lots of rules going on.<br />
<br />
When I first opened up Outlook on the laptop I had to create all the rules again (seems they don't get transferred in PST?). &nbsp;Then when I transferred external HDD back to PC all the rules now had &quot;for other computer&quot; next to them and they won't run. &nbsp;I open up the rules to edit them and I can't seem to uncheck the &quot;for other computer&quot; setting. &nbsp;I transfer back and it's the same thing.<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how I can sort my incoming mail into folders based on email account using rules in this manner? Is it even possible?
