Outlook Rules - New Computer

Hello~

My computer at work was recently upgraded. All my data seems to have been
copied over fine, but I am having some issues with my rules in Outlook.

We have a POP3 server for our mail. All of our data and .pst files are
stored on the server. So when my new PC arrived we installed all the programs
I needed and mapped all the drives I needed. My Outlook was configured with
my existing .pst file on the server.

All my mail is here, and I see all the rules that I created previously.
However they all say "For other machine" next to them and are not running. I
have looked through all the edit screens, and can not see where to change
these to run on this machine.

Any help is appreciated so I do not have to recreate all these rules.

Thanks!

The way I fixed that, was to Export the rules to file, delete the rules in
Outlook, then re-import.  That seemed to fix it.

Hope this helps.

Presumably your IT dept knows that MS doesnt support the use of a pst over a
network?, as it can lead to corruption
