O/L 2003. Run a rule at timed intervals?

[Musicrab]

Hi. I cannot get a rule to run when messages come in via Outlook Connector.
It works if I run it manually. So can a rule be run at timed interval
somehow? e.g. from an external script.
Cheers

Correct. The Outlook Connector doesn't support Outlook's Rules engine.

Yes and no. You might be able to get the command line option that runs a
rule to work, but other people have had issues and I've never tried it.
You'd then have to use an OS level timer to run the command line every so
often.

Outlook is also exceedingly extensible, so a plug in could always be written
to do it. You might want to check http://www.slipstick.com to see if one
already exists. Or if you feel comfortable writing code, try hitting the
forums at http://www.outlookcode.com.
