What do the following mean?

"For other machine" and "On this machine only" in Rules

----

I have one computer here and I cannot understand what these terms refer
to.

Thanks.

Are you using the message store on two different computers? The first means
the rules only work on the other machine, the second means the only work on
the machine you are reading it on.

I don't know what "message store" means. I have two mail addresses with
my ISP (his doing, not mine), if that's what it means.

There is one "machine" here only. Because I have two e-mail "accounts,"
does Outlook think there are two physical machines?

Thanks.

Are both accounts in the same profile? If not, each have it's own message
store (*.pst file)?

Youre PST, or Personal Folders file. Where your messaegs are stored.
I have two mail addresses
with my ISP (his doing, not mine), if that's what it means.

Nope. Who is "he"?
There is one "machine" here only. Because I have two e-mail
"accounts," does Outlook think there are two physical machines?

Did someone else set up your PC? If so, they may have copied your PST from
another machine to yours, with rules already in place in the PST.
