Rules in Outlook

[Gerald A. Connell]

I am using Outlook 2000. If I install Outlook 2003, will the many
email rules that I created in 2000 be imported into 2003?

Thanks,
Gerry

The upgrade should pickup the rules but you can always import them in by
launching the Rules Wizard > choose Options > Import. (you may have to
repoint some of the rules to specified folders) The rules for Outlook 2000
are stored in a file with a *.rwz extension. Please note that from Outlook
2002 rules are no longer stored in a separate file but within the pst
itself.

Export your rules first with Outlook 200 to a file. Then import them into Outlook 2003.
