Making sure on Rules with a shared mailbox

T

We want to set up a shared mailbox or one that several users will have full
mailbox rights on. Rules will be set up so incoming mail with a certain item
in the subject will be placed into certain folders within the inbox. The
question being if once those rules are set using the main account, if the
computer and main account used to access the mailbox are logged off will the
rules continue to move the inbound email based on the configured rules so the
users will still see the effects when they look at the mailbox? The mail
will be stored on the Exchange server 2003 and Outlook 2003 is being used.
The users most likely will also have this mailbox set up as a second mailbox
to open along with their own and not use a second Outlook profile. Thanks!

The rules will have to be setup when that mailbox is configured as the
primary account. The rule will say if it is a clientside rule only. For all
other rules; these will be executed at Exchange server level so Outlook
doesn't have to be running.

Cool, thank you for such a quick response and for telling me to look for that
client side setting. Thanks!
