2000 Exchange Server Rules Storage Space Issue

Until recently my firm used Exchange 2000. On my system I get the Outlook
2000 error: "There is not enough space on the Microsoft Exchange Server to
store all your rules. The rules that failed to upload have been deactivated."

It would give this message even if I made all my rules Client-Only (if its
client only, why must it be saved on the server!?)

I found a post in this forum from August 2004 that inquired about this
issue. A helpful person pointed the inquiree to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=241325

My question is as follows: Our firm has been upgrading to Exchange 2003 and
Office 2003 and is nearly finished. Does this issue persist in the newer
versions of Office/Exchange?

In a previous job we used Eudora as a front end (who knows what the backend
was) and I was able to have hundreds of client-app rules for incoming mail.
Its extraordinarily annoying to constantly run up against this limitation.

Anyone know anything about the newest versions of Outlook and this issue?

In addition to Neo's reply - the rules live in your mailbox. So yes, they
are still stored on the server, even if they're client side rules.
Simplify your rules/delete some.
 
That's ridiculous! How could such an annoying feature persist for so long.
I can only implement about 30% of the rules I need on Outlook. I've
simplified with distribution lists, combined multiple conditions into single
rules, etc etc but it still isn't enough! Is this a "feature" or is it
something they are going to fix someday?

I have no idea - it's a common complaint.
Personally, I use about two or three rules, tops, ever, as I find that it's
far too easy for things to get lost if I over-automate them. But that's just
me.
