"Client Only" Rule

G

Guest

I created a rule in Outlook 2003. After i clicked finish, i got a message
stating it was a client only rule. What does that mean? Does it matter? If
it can or should be changed, how would i do that.

I'm running win xp pro sp2 with outlook2003.

thanks!

it means it only runs when outlook is running, which is the only way rules
run unless you use an exchange server mailbox.

Thanks, Diane. I do have an exchange mailbox on our local server. Would
that allow me to change it? Can it even be changed manually?

it's based on the conditions and actions of the rule.
