How do I delete all rules?

[Guest]

For several years I have used some rules in order to sort all incoming mails
into separate folders.
I now found out I need to have a copy of all incoming mail i the Inbox,
regardless of having them processed by sorting rules or not. I guess the
easiest way is to delete all old rules and start all over setting up new
rules, or is their a more convenient way doing this?
I estimate having about 60-70 different rules.

Simply update your rules by changing the "move it to" to "move a copy to". This
should then populate your Inbox also.

Ok - I'm sorry I was a little unspecific in my question. What I really wanted
to know was if their's a metod sawing time by changing all rules in one step,
rather then changing every rule individually.

I'm not aware of any method to make bulk changes to the Rules. Maybe someone
else will jump in here with a solution for you.

Good luck!

Open Outlook with the /cleanrules switch, this will start Outlook and delete
all client/server rules:

Start Outlook once with the /cleanrules command line switch.
