offline access to message rules with Exchange account

[Gerhard Fiedler]

Is there any way to get access to the message rules when there is an
Exchange account in the mix (in offline mode, synchronized)? I want to
have offline access to the Exchange public folders, but I also want to
be able to use client-side message rules for my other POP email
accounts. (Outlook in online mode is too slow to get anything done in
my case.)

I tried setting my mail delivery to a local folder, but apparently
this doesn't do the trick.

This is Outlook 2002 on Windows XP.

Thanks for any help.
