What causes rules to be client side only

[Guest]

I have an exchange 2003 environment and my clients connect to the server
using rcp over https.

I have created several rules and I have an additonal mailbox opened under my
mail mailbox.
When I create a rule to read the headers for the emails designated to go to
the additional mailbox, it creates that rule as a client side only rule. Why
is that? My other rules seem to be on the server side.

It all depends on what condition(s) and action(s) you chose for the rule. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/serverbased.htm

There's some discussion of that here:

because you need to actually open the mailbox directly to create a server
side rule for that mailbox - rules in your mailbox only work on that folder
when outlook is open.

Thank you to all. I logged in as that account and created the rule to work o
nthe headers and when I went into the other profile where I had the account
as an additional mailbox, the rule worked perfectly.
