So effectively the same thing I said... it breaks the rules.. the logic of the rule is intact, but the folder name will be gone and replaced with 'specified'... you then have to go into each rule and click on specified and point this back to a valid folder, then re-enable the rule. Not tragic in any large way... mostly an annoyance...

Well sure, there is a nice little utility. The export rules feature in Outlook :) The rules will be mostly intact. You will have to re-enable them and modify them to point to the correct folders etc.. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Mike Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 20:33:33 -0600 >Boy, what a drag. > >I have lots of time invested in creating my rules, and it's really a >bummer that it's not as simple as exporting the client type based rules. >I understand what you are getting at however...
