Rules in Error

[Guest]

I have been receiving a "Rules in Error" popup twice for every new email that
is supposed to be filtered to a designated folder based on a rule I have set.

The rule in error is "Server-Requested Client Action" and the error says
"Unable to find destination folder. The folder may be deleted or in a PST
Outlook could not open".

However the folder does exist and even though the error appears, new
messages do get filtered properly when they arrive.

I have tried disabling and deleting the rule associated with this email
address. New messages no longer get filtered afterwards but I continue to get
this error every time I receive an email sent to this address associated with
this phantom rule.

I then recreated a new rule for this address to the same folder. Messages
are again filtered properly to the right place but the error popup continued
to show on every occurrence.

I have recently reinstalled Outlook 2003. The problem was not resolved either.

This is the only rule I have been having trouble with. All my other filters
function properly. Is there anyway I can get rid of the annoying popup?

Thanks,
April

Were this happening to me, I'd export all the rules with the rules wizard,
one to a file, restart Outlook with the /cleanrules command line switch, and
reimport each rule one at a time to see which one may cause the error. If
none does, you should be back in business. If one does, you'll know for
sure why and which one.
