Rule Problem in Offline mode

Please help...

I have a rule which copies sent mail to a specified
folder on a local .PST file. I do this to automatically
have a local copy that doesn't expire after my company's
default server sent-mail retention period expires.

It's as simple as:

"Apply this rule after I send the message
move a copy to the SentLocal folder"

This worked with Outlook XP. Since upgrading to Outlook
2003, the rule only works when I am connected to the
Exchange server. When I'm working in Offline mode, the
rule never gets applied.

I have tried running with the /cleanrules switch and then
reimporting the rule. No luck.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Are you using Cached Exchange Mode?
