Problem with client-side versus server-side rules

[Ivo]

Hi all, I have a problem with client-side versus server-side rules. I
keep getting the message "client side rule and server side rule are in
conflict, which one do you want to use?". Everytime I click to keep
the server-side rule, but it doesn't seem to remember this setting and
keeps coming up with the message. And since I depend on a rule to
delete my spam-mail, I can't live without. This is very annoying.

I use Outlook 2003 with Exchange, but I use both a Exchange mailbox
and a POP3-mailbox together.

I looked around for solutions, but unfortunately none of them worked
for me;

- I understand the difference between server-side rules and
client-side. I think the 'Rules and alerts' option lets me manage the
server-side rules. But how do I manage the client-side rules? In other
posts I see something like a "Inbox assistant", but I can't find it
anywhere.
- I removed my Exchange mailbox, started Outlook. By then I should
only see client-side rules. I deleted them. I added the Exchange
mailbox again and I see the server-side rules come back. That's fine
so far. If I again remove the Exchange mailbox, the client-side rules
have come back. So for some reason they are copied back in.
- Why doesn't Outlook remember my decision to use the server-side
rules? I have to make the decision with every new email. This is the
most annoying part.
- How do I delete the client-side rules forever? How do I manage them?

Is there anybody who can help me with this? Someone who can set me on
the correct path to solve this. Any feedback very much appreciated.

Regards,
Ivo
