There is no such limitation. If it doesn't work for you, it indicates a
configuration issue on your system.
Which mail account type are you using?
Does it work when you access Outlook via another mail profile? Create a test
mail profile if you only have one.

Running under Vista SP1. I have Outlook 2007 "for academic use only",
although the ad through which I bought the package assured me that it was
the "full" version.

Nothing happens when I click Tools > Rules and alerts.

I was surprised and pleased that the install of OL2007 automatically
inherited all the data and settings from the OL2003 system, but the rules
didn't come across.

Thanks for the link. My time is okay. Are you in a different time zone
west of MN?

Outlook is *not* included in the academic (Home & Student) version of
Office 2007.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...635841033.aspx

Haven't a clue WHAT you bought through that "ad". Outlook 2007 sold
separately is not an "academic" version but is instead a retail version.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...045491033.aspx describes
the various editions of Outlook 2007. The only editions mentioned in
Microsoft's document are standard and professional editions of Outlook
2007. My guess is that the seller sliced up licenses out of a volume
license and deliberately mislabelled them as "academic" versions. All
licenses within a volume license are to remain within the entity or
organization that bought the volume license, so the seller sold off an
pirated copy. So just what is the URL from where you bought this?

Only 1 instance of Outlook can be installed. Word, Excel, and other
Office components can tolerate multiple versions of those components
being concurrently installed but not Outlook. The install of OL2007
should have removed the OL2003 instance. Did it? Check Add/Remove
Programs.

No, YOUR time setting is incorrect if you were indicating that you are
located in Minnesota (which uses the Central timezone). From your
headers:

Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:54:36 -0700

For MN (CDT timezone), the time offset would be -0500. For -0700 to be
correct, you would have to be on the west coast. To figure out who
posted when, substract the timezone offset from the time. For example:

Your original post:
15:54:36 -0700 = 15:54:36 - (-07:00:00) = 22:54:36

Roady's reply post:
00:10:25 +0200 = 00:10:25 - (+02:00:00) = 22:10:25

It would be impossible for Roady to submit a reply to your post before
your post existed. Check the timezone specified in your regional
settings (and make sure the option to adjust for Daylight Savings is
enabled).

I am in Minnesota and the datestamp header (for my other reply to this
thread is):

Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 22:42:44 -0500

An offset of -0500 is correct for MN. Your -0700 is not correct if you
are in MN.

Are you in the Central or Mountain time zone? Your offset is -0700, it
probably should be -5 this time of year.

The academic version is sold in college bookstores and online education
stores to college students - for example,
http://www.journeyed.com/itemDetail....res_view=specs
I think there is a pro and ultimate version. It is not a volume license - it
is legit, assuming the buyer is a college student or faculty.

There are many copies available on ebay too.

AFAIK, there is nothing missing from the academic versions, just the license
is different from the standard retail version. Did you get the office suite
or just outlook? (Yes Vanguard, there is a standalone Outlook academic
version.)

Did you try office diagnostics? (Help menu).

Try a new profile (keep the old one) and see if Rules wizard opens. If you
upgraded an Outlook 2003 profile there are occasionally problems.

The OP mentioned some URL. If he bought it from his college, I doubt he
would've said he used some URL (and not mention it was for his college).
He doesn't even mention being a student or getting the license from his
college.

I doubt this "academic" version was purchased through this guy's
college. His story doesn't fit.

In the UK certain charities can use the Academic Licence - I work for one,
and therefore did not purchase my Academic License through a college....
