Client Vs. Server Rules

[Guest]

I am attempting to setup rules to automatically move items from an inbox to
subfolders (under the inbox). This inbox is used by multiple employees.
When I setup the rules to move the messages to the appropriate subfolder, it
works perfectly, however it only works when I have Outlook open. I know that
the rules appear to be client based and not server based. How do I change
these rules, or setup rules to begin with so they are on the server and not
the stand alone PC?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook, not you, determines if a rule is client or server side. See

while the determination of client vs. Server depends on the rule there is
also an over-ride with Outlook 2003. Ensure "on the is machine only" is not
checked for rules that would usually function as server-side.
