What does "on this machine only" actually do?
It limits the execution of the rule to the machine where it was created
because it has an action that references some resource local to that
machine. For example, when using an Exchange server, if a rule moves a
message to a local PST, it will have the "on this machine only" attribute
because only that client will have that PST. The rule will be disabled if
you access your mailbox from another PC. It's more strict than a simple
client-side action like "mark it as read", which, even though a client-side
action, will work, I believe, on another PC if you were to use Outlook
there.
If it is selected, the
rule appears not to run and is not available in the Run Now dialog.
Is there a definition of what all of the conditionals actually do?
If so, where might one find this?
The example I gave above will behave this way. The MSKB has a lot of
information. Are you using a PST and did you move that PST from another PC?
