Outlook Permission folder

guitfiddler · 09-20-2007, 12:21 PM

I am trying to create a rule for emails, when I do it says I cannot because I do not have permission to the folder. I have done this in the past without any problems. I am sure there is a setting somewhere that I need to change, but I am not listed as the Owner of any folders, and I am the only user on Outlook. Any ideas.

Just finished running test...No errors found

Is there any kind of setting that may have been changed that would cause this?

Obviously something went south with these folders, but the question is 'what?'... Anyhow, create a new folder and then attempt creating a rule that would refer to that new folder. See if it works; if it does, then you'll simply need to re-create all the erratically behaving folders anew.

Thats was one of initial thoughts, I had the same results as previous attempts.

Update: I still cannot create a rule by the main screen, I did find that going into the rules wizard I can create the rule though. It is a little lengthier process but can be done. So I can organize my folders still. That being said I would still like to know why the main screen will not work and why I do not show as folder owner or have access to view folder permissions.

Any other ideas?
