[REPOST] Client-side rules stop processing

[Malcolm Ferguson]

I work online connected to an Exchange 5.5 server via a VPN. My mail is
delivered to a local PST. I have client-side rules that move messages
to various folders. Frequently these rules stop working - i.e. the
messages get delivered to my local PST, but they don't get moved by the
rules. Under Outlook XP I found expanding my mailbox on the Exchange
server caused the messages in the local PST to move correctly. Nothing
seems to work with Outlook 2003 - I have to explicitly go and run the
rules. Restarting the app always fixes the problem, but isn't always
practical. Is there anyway I can get the rules to start working again
without restarting the app?

Cheers,
Malc

You're luckier than me! Server-side rules work perfectly for me on
outlook 2003, but I can't get the client-side rules to work at all!
After clicking "update rules" to no avail, I even deleted all of rules
and recreated them. Doesn't do it. I'm certainly open to suggestions!!

Thanks...
