Outlook "Run Rules Now" Should have a "Select all Rules" button

[Tom]

This would allow all rules to be convenienly selected and run manually when
needed. In my companies exchange environment, the number of rules is severly
limitted, so I have all email downloaded to my machine. Rules don't run
automatically, so I have to run manually.

Thank you!
Tom

Downloading email to your local machine is not the best way to manage this.
I'd either use a 3rd party rules engine for client side rules or use views
(and search folders in Ol2003) for message management.

I spent a bundle on Microsoft Office. More so with the entire department I
work in. What is so hard about Microsoft coming out with an optional add-on
or a patch, to get a button where we can "Select all Rules" ? Why should I
have to spend more money on a third party vendor software to get around that
one feature that's lacking in Outlook? Or must we automate this manual task
that was by nature an automation process to begin with, with another layer of
automation to correct for this deficiency that takes time to manually do?
Time is money!

Um, so what do you want is *users* here in Usenet to do about Microsoft's
code, huh? You're whining to the wrong audience.

What is Usenet:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups
http://www.masonicinfo.com/newsgroups.htm
http://www.mcfedries.com/Ramblings/usenet-primer.asp

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface (e.g., Microsoft's Communities,
Google Groups, or a leech site using a forum-to-Usenet proxy), those are
gateways to Usenet. Despite the pretense of a forum, you are participating
in a newsgroup (aka Usenet).
