I currently have rules wizard set up to send certain emails to shared
folders on exchange. It only works when I "force" it to by using the
Run now command while in the shared folder. I realize you are supposed
to use Folder assistant for shared folders but it is not as robust as
rules wizard.

I was wondering if there is
a) a way to have rules wizard on shared folders automatically (like
with regular exchange account)
b) some vba code for a macro that would automatically go to a folder,
open rules wizard and then select the appropriate rules you wan to
"run now"

any help would be appreciated. thanks

No and no.

I can't believe there is no solution either through microsoft or a 3rd
party app. any way to import rulez wizard info into the folder
assistant?
