Rules for a mailbox that's not your own?

2008-11-06 Thread Evan Brastow 
Hi,

 

We have a mailbox that exists only for people to connect to as a
secondary mailbox. It's basically used instead of a public folder. There
are about 7 people that open it within Outlook in addition to their own
account.

 

I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to set up rules for that
mailbox since no one logs into the actual account it's associated with,
and I'm wondering if there is a way to get the rules to run even if
there is no computer open with that account up and running in Outlook?
I'm using Outlook 2007. The server is E2K3 Enterprise.

 

Thanks,

 

Evan

Evan,

You need to create an outlook profile using that username and login as that 
user to setup the rules. Then create rules that are server-side rather than 
client-side.

We do this all the time on user and resource mailboxes.
