MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / June 2007Rules are invalid
There are many rules created to re-direct messages into different folders in the pst file that is on a network drive. After a network problem, Outlook cannot connect to it and then all the rules become red/invalid and all the checkboxes are uncheck. After the network problem solved, the pst file back to normail but all rules are still not working. Is there a way to make them work without manually fix or re-create them? Thanks. Yes, keep the pst-files locally. This is one of the reasons that storing pst-files on a network share isn't supported or recommended by Microsoft. You can be happy that you didn't lose anything else or that your entire pst-file had become corrupted.

The reason to keep pst files on network is to get them backed up every night in case of harddisk failure or something. > Yes, keep the pst-files locally.

The rules get disabled since the pst-file wasn't available while the rules were executed. Broken rules immidiately get disabled to prevent further issues or loss of email. Keep the pst-files local to your computer and use the Microsoft PST-Backup Add-in to copy the pst-file to the network on a regular basis. Copy the pst-file manually if you are not allowed to install the add-in.
