Permission error when creating rule in your own mailbox?

[MC]

Hello,

We get permission error when we create following rule in Outlook 2000/2003
-Any incoming message,
- Have Server Reply using a specific message
-Except Subject does not contain "SPAM"

We get the permission error when people try to save that SPECIFIC message.
Sounds like Outlook requires full owner permission to PUBLIC folders
why?

I don't want everyone to have full permision on public folders
Is there another way to get around this?

Thanks

What do public folders have to do with this rule? Is there somethign you're not telling us?

The people who has "Owner" permission on public folders in outlook seem to
be able to create this rule no problem.
(And I saw an MS arcticle about outo replies in regards to public folders.)

Rest of the people who don't have this permission, so they get permission
error when they try to save specific message

Sue,

I just went back to confirm what I said was true.
I just granted a person owner permission to a sub folder under public, that
person no longer got error mesage when creating the rule

This rule sounds like server side rule that everyone has to has a place to
store certain outlook settings

The Public Folders hierarchy is not involved at all in creating mailbox rules, unless, of course, the rule actions include moving items to a public folder. You are creating mailbox rules, not using Folder Assistant to create public folder rules, right?

The hidden message that the server would use to handle such a "have server reply" rule would be stored in the user's mailbox, not in Public Folders.

Why people get permission error while saving the message for the rule?

Maybe we'll know more when you answer the question I asked about the folder. Also please provide the exact, full text of the error message.
