The CEO's assistant manages the CEO's email. She has been granted Full control and Send on behalf. The CEO creates rules from time to time. He also asks his assistant to create email rules to help with sorting. She does this on a machine other than his. We use Office 365 with hosted Exchange. What I want to know is how are the rules reconciled? From what I've read, the rules are stored locally on the machine that created them rather than on the server. <br />
What brought this up is the assistant has started getting &quot;The attempted operation failed an object cannot be found&quot; errors when creating new rules and we believe it might be caused by duplicated rules or objects.
