Outlook 2007 Runs all rules?

MarcoPolo

Hello all,
Quick question (I hope). I'm running Oulook 07, have 50-60 rules, need to
run the rules only occasionally, mostly for archiving on my laptop. Usually I
access my email from a variety of locations, so I can't run all my rules all
the time, I don't carry my laptop everywhere. But when I do need to run the
rules, I'd really like to know how to run all the rules with a single click.
Has anyone figured out an easier method of do so? Clicking these rules boxes,
5 in a row, page down, another 5 etc. tends to drive me a little crazy.
thanks in advance!

Not possible. But those are a lot of rules. What do they do exactly and why
do you need so many?
Instead of using rules to manage your emails, consider using a combination
of custom views, categories, Search Folders and automatic formatting as
well.

For some examples see;

At this time no, there is no easier way within outlook. You could try a
windows macro tool like AutoIt to make the selections for you.

I travel a fair amount, deal with 42 customers and follow multiple threads
for each customer and each department at my company. I have a file folder for
each custoemer and one for each division I interface with, so I need to keep
these separate for ease of researching, and Ido archive to searchable PDF,
but I sure would like to have a button to run all rules.

I don't know about AutoIt, what is it?
