  • 1. reply using microsoft word 2003
    Hello I have a problem when replying to messages. If I do not use Microsoft Word to reply to messages, then the color of the vertical "reply" line is the same as the color of the reply text (i need it to be black). If I use Word to reply to messages, the color of the the verticle reply line is always blue... Is there any way to change that blue line in Word to some other color? Regards Alex
  • 2. Sub folder Task reminder error
    Hi Our company now has Outlook 2003. In the sales team we rely on the tasks to keep track of sales or progress. In Outlook XP all was fine. If you create another folder within Tasks called Sales (or anything), and create a new task in the Sales Task subfolder called new Prospects all is fine. But when we want to set the reminder we get the below error: " The reminder for "Prospects" will not appear because the item is not in your Calendor or Task folder. Is this OK?" I have installed all the latest SP's and Hotfixes for Office 2003. Any ideas to why we are getting this error? Regards J

Outlook 2003: Rules and Alerts, Client Side Rules do not run on startup

Postby Justin Tymee » Wed, 03 Dec 2003 09:58:02 GMT

Hello All,

Using Outlook 2003 and Connecting to Exchange 2003

I've created a set of rules that I would like to have executed after I open
outlook. The rules I've created work when I run them using the Outlook Menu:
Tools -> Rules and Alerts -> Run Rules Now.

I understand that they are "Client Side" rules that will only run when
outlook is running, and do not operate directly via the exchange server. I
thought I understood that the rules will run when you open Outlook which
then sorts the mail in the Exchange Inbox accordingly.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in Advance

if you leave outlook running do they work on later mail downloads? if so
it's a known issue that rules don't run immediately when outlook opens.

Hello,

No they do not run when outlook is open and a mail is recieved.
They operate only when I execute them manually via the Rules Wizard.

Thanks in advance,

2.Server/Client Side Rules Not Working Windows 2000/Outlook 2000/XP/2003

Hello all,

We have an Exchange Server v5.5 build 2653.23 SP4 running 
on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine.  Whenever ANY one of our 
Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 clients tries to create a 
rule it ALWAYS defaults to client-side, and never 
actually executes.  There are no errors logged in the 
Applications event log on the server or client.  Here is 
some additional info you may find useful:

1.  The Exchange server resides in domain:CDS
2.  Users logon to domain:NT (2-way trust established 
with doamin:CDS), their primary account is listed in 
ExchAdmin as NT/Username.

3.  When users logon to domain:CDS, and the primrary user 
account is set to CDS/Username, server-side rules can be 
created, but they will not trigger.
4.  Client-side rules execute when POPing mail, but not 
MAPI mail.
5.  When I logon to domain:NT and access our old Exchange 
server in wholly within domain:NT, I can create server-
side rules AND they will trigger!

Somehow I have the feeling it is rights related, but I 
don't know where to look.  Any help would be much 
appreciated.

3.Rule Not Running - Or Not Doing What I Think

I have a rule; it's the third one down after "Clear Categories" and one other 
that only processes when email comes in from another account.  It says:
------------------------------
Apply this rule after the message arrives
throught the JeffreySpam account
  and only on this machine
Move it to the jcox Inbox folder
  and mark it as read
except if the subject contains JC Tech Website Request
  or except if the message header contains 'amazon.com' or 'microsoft.com' 
<< about 20 others listed here.
  or except if it is marked as high importance
stop processing more rules
-------------------
Yet, an email from  XXXX@XXXXX.COM  did not stay in the inbox (which 
should happend because of the 'microsoft.com' above, and, because 'stop 
processing more rules').

Am I missing something, or, did filters just get more flakey in 2007?

Thanks in advance.

4.Problem with client-side versus server-side rules

Hi all, I have a problem with client-side versus server-side rules. I
keep getting the message "client side rule and server side rule are in
conflict, which one do you want to use?". Everytime I click to keep
the server-side rule, but it doesn't seem to remember this setting and
keeps coming up with the message. And since I depend on a rule to
delete my spam-mail, I can't live without. This is very annoying.

I use Outlook 2003 with Exchange, but I use both a Exchange mailbox
and a POP3-mailbox together.

I looked around for solutions, but unfortunately none of them worked
for me;

- I understand the difference between server-side rules and
client-side. I think the 'Rules and alerts' option lets me manage the
server-side rules. But how do I manage the client-side rules? In other
posts I see something like a "Inbox assistant", but I can't find it
anywhere.
- I removed my Exchange mailbox, started Outlook. By then I should
only see client-side rules. I deleted them. I added the Exchange
mailbox again and I see the server-side rules come back. That's fine
so far. If I again remove the Exchange mailbox, the client-side rules
have come back. So for some reason they are copied back in.
- Why doesn't Outlook remember my decision to use the server-side
rules? I have to make the decision with every new email. This is the
most annoying part.
- How do I delete the client-side rules forever? How do I manage them?

Is there anybody who can help me with this? Someone who can set me on
the correct path to solve this. Any feedback very much appreciated.

Regards,
Ivo

5.Outlook client side rules should not be included in 32KB server li

32KB seems like an arbitrary and small limitation for mail rule storage. This 
limit has been in place since at least Outlook '97 and has yet to be updated 
in Outlook 2003. As a user, I don't understand what is limiting me from 
running as many client-side rules as I would like upon mail delivery. 
Certainly there is reason for having a limit on the server side, but why am I 
also limited on the client side? I should be able to run as many cpu 
consuming rules as I would like.

Please also offer a UI for managing server side rules separately from client 
side rules. I noted that in Office 2003, there is a separate check box for 
"rule runs on this machine only" yet the rule seemingly counts against the 
32KB storage limit on the servers copy of the rule. Error messages that are 
more sophisticated then a single model dialog would also be greatly 
appreciated

Microsoft can do better. Limiting the number of characters in the rule 
really isn't an acceptable workaround.
