Rule I created in Outlook interfered with Outlook meeting invitati

[Guest]

I created a rule to automatically move all of my e-mail messages from my
inbox on our exchange server to my inbox on my hard drive. It seemed to work
fine. However, when I accepted any meeting invitations that had been
automatically moved to my inbox on my hard drive, it did not place the
meetings in my Outlook calendar (which resides on the outlook exchange
server). I am assuming the problem has to do with the inbox on my hard drive
not talking to the calendar on the exchange server, so I tried to modify the
rule to exclude meeting invitations from being moved from the server to my
hard drive, but did not see an option to do so. Can anyone offer any advice
on how I can make the rule work without it interfering with my meeting
invitations?

Why are you even doing this? Is your desktop's hard drive backed up
regularly? Is the server backed up regularly? What would happen to all
your mail if your desktop's hard drive crashed? Have you talked to your
Exchange Administrator about this setup?

And yes, this is expected behavior. When you accept a meeting request that
is in the PST, the event goes into the calendar of that PST.

As for rules, assuming you're running 2003 or higher, just set up a rule
above the first that checks for form type and does a 'Stop Processing More
Rules'. Not that I'm really thinking I should be giving you advice because,
really, moving all your mail off a server that is presumably backed up to a
workstation that presumably *isn't* is asking for serious, serious trouble.
If I was your administrator, I'd be tempted to shut down your mail account.

Wow. I think your response was unbelievably rude. You have made several
false assumptions, but I won't elaborate here. I will seek help in a more
professional forum.

The only way not to make false assumptions is to have all the data provided
initially.

As for my being 'rude', you are free to feel however you want. Seek help in
whatever forum you wish, however, my answer of creating a rule first that
looks at form type and then doing a 'Stop Processing More Rules' is the way
to do it. Perhaps one of the 'false assumptions' I made is what version of
Outlook you're running. To which, I point to my first paragraph in this
reply.
