"The folder you specified cannot be found"

On Sunday, this error message suddenly appeared everytime
I start up Outlook 2001, while working offline. It
doesn't appear to negatively affect the running of the
program, and I just hit "OK", and it opens and operates
as normal.

But ... clearly there's something wrong. I've scoured
Mactopia and read dozens of postings on Newsgroups, but
can't seem to find any reference to this kind of message.

Does anybody even know how I can determine what folder
the message is refering to?

I'm not familiar with Outlook on a Mac, but this sounds like a rules error
to me. Got any rules defined?

Hmm!

I don't have any rules defined in MS-Outlook 2001 for
Mac - but I went in to check anyway. When I did so, I
got the message:

"This mailbox contains rules created using Microsoft
Outlook for Windows. Rules created using Outlook for
Windows cannot be changed using Outlook for Mac".

This got me excited that perhaps we had found the
culprit. A rule defined on my IBM that cannot be seen
from my Apple.

So, I went to my IBM Stinkpad (which is running Outlook
2003 for Windows) and checked to see if there were some
rules that had mysteriously been added. But no ... no
rules on either my PowerBook or ThinkPad.

So, I haven't found the problem yet!!
