Rules Usage question

C

Chester

How ARE we supposed to use rules? For me, I correspond with a lot of
clients. Each client has
their own folder in Outlook, and pre-exchange I had a rule for each client.
Very simple: When an email arrived from a specific address, move it to a
specific folder. Can't get much more simple than that. Once we setup SBS2k3,
all the sudden I ran out of space on the Exchange Server, since it has a
rules limit size of 32k. I could not add rules! What's up with that? Why is
there no limit in Outlook, but there is a limit (and a very small one at
that!) in Exchange! What a frustration! Now the email has to come in, and
MANUALLY be moved to the client's individual folders. Am I the only
one to try to do this? Am I out to lunch with this idea? For what it's
worth, I have 55 client folders. With that simple rule, I hit the max at
about 50 rules.

Well it wouldn't be my way of sorting mail since I can also sort by sender
and I've got way more than 50 clients.
Anyway no, you can't change the rules limit on the Exchange server. Sorry.
