Machine Only" - however, the ending result is, that the rule doesn't work.
How can I reset this, so that it [On This Machine Only] is NOT
automatically
selected?

message
to a different folder based on the FROM address. Regardless of the rule,
"On
This Machine Only" is a default to every rule I create. I have to manually
unselect that option - which of course is annoying. I am trying to figure
out how to unset that option as a default. I searched the help files to no
avail.

Roady said:There is no need to unselect that option. On this Machine Only means that it
is a client side rule and that it only works on that machine and while
Outlook is open. This is normal behavior of a POP3 account with a delivery
location of a pst-file.
Does the rule work when you disable all your other rules and then receate
the rule?
