Dear all,

I have a very strange problem with Outlook 2k3-rules. First of all some config-details:

In background a Exchange 2k3-server is handling the postboxes. Outlook is configured that way, that it submits all mails to a local hosted PST-file.
Additional a second postbox is opened with step 7-rights.

Problem:
In Outlook several rules are defined (all "client-only", bound to that specific computer and mostly that mails from a specified sender should be shifted to a specified folder within the PST-file).
For some strange reason this rules work some days and do not work on other days. I found no specific criteria why it is happening on some days and other days not.

Actions taken already:
- released second postbox
- deleting and recreation of all rules
- modified rules many times
- checked rules intensive
- did an scanpst-repair

Nothing helped in that case, and after 2 weeks of thinking and testing I have real big headache. I am no rookie in such environments (8 years of experience in professional network administration, familiar with Exchange beginning from version 5.5 and Outlook since version 97), but I can not remember that I´ve ever had such a problem before.

Any help is welcome...
