Rules and Alerts Issue

Hello,

I've created a rule under Rules and Alerts to peramanently delete email if 
it contains "**SPAM** *****SPAM*****". When an email satisfies the criteria 
stated above I receive an error message telling me "You don't have 
appropriate permission to perform this operation".

I'm logged on as Administrator on a Windows 2000 Server using Outlook 2003 
SP2.

Why will it not execute this particular rule and how do I get it to execute 
this particular rule?

Thanks,
Albert

Do other rules work ok? Will a move rule work on that criteria?

Yes, I have a few other rules that move email into other folders and they 
work just fine.

Yes, that is correct. It only occurs when I ask it to delete emails 
permanently.

I'd say it's a problem at the Operating System level with your permissions 
to permanently delete items.
If you have an administrator check with them as to what restrictions are in 
place.
To be honest, you are probably better off moving instead of permanently 
deleting.

I am running Outlook 2003 c/w XP.  When I select Tools-Rules and Alerts the 
window pops for for a fraction of a second then disappears.  

Any ideas on how to remedy?
