Importing Rules Outlook 20003

[Francisco Vaz]

How can I make the import of rules work, after create a new PST file ?
The Rules are basically, to move emails to a specific folder, the new pst
has the same structure of the original pst, but after importing the rules
they loose the information of the destination folder.

You'd need to relink each rule with its target folder. That's normal behavior when you have a .pst file in a different location.

Hello,
The new pst file has the same name and location has the original.

The new pst file has the same name and location has the original.

Are you overwriting one PST with another? This is a poor practice because
it can damage the mail profile.

That's a little surprising, but maybe it's a side effect of importing rules instead of just using the same .pst, rules and all. In any case, you already know the solution.

I remove the files from the profile, them renamed both and them added to the
profile. The original eas renamed archive and the new one as renamed with the
name of the original.

My original pst file has 9.8 GB, if Iwant to clean the original pst using the
arquive plus compact (in a fast machine) would take a week to complect.
Changing 400 rules when the struture of the folders and the pst name is
same...
