rules in error

M

marten

I am using outlook on two different machines/locations
with the data .pst file on a mobile drive.

When connecting this mobile drive and opening outlook for
the first time at the machine were I arrive, a 'Rules in
error'
pop up window shows up. It starts to list all rules for
which new messages are arriving.

I have to open 'rules and alerts' uncheck and recheck one
of the rules and click apply, click ok - in order for all
registered rules to work/

apply.

Is there a way to avoid this - so that even when switching
between machines/locations and opening outlook for the
first time, both

outlook versions on both machines will recognize and
operate the rules and alerts automatically without 're-
applying' them?

THANKS

Not that I am aware of - Outlook was not built to use the same .pst file
between machines using a mobile drive. It is meant for a local installation
per machine.
