Outlook Filters- Order?

D

David

Can someone help me with some info onthe use of outlook's filters. In
particular I would like to know if various filters can be set in a order of
when they operate?. Or is it that all filters just work together with no
precedence ?

Also could you tell me if I can get at individual filters or are they all
inside *.pst files?

You mean Wizard Rules? (or Rules and Alerts in Outlook 2003)

They fire in order from top to bottom.

I don't know what you mean by your last question. Could you specify? don't
forget to mention your version either.

Thanks Robert for the operating order. But as to the other question in which
I have not been too clear on.
What is the file that carries these "Rules" in it?. Can I find it and open
it up ?
many thanks
David

The rules are indeed contained in the pst-file. You can export them to a
file in case they get lost but you cannot edit these exported files.
