Exchange Rules for Outlook
Exchange Rules for Outlook
- I need an app that allows unlimited storage of rules for Exchange.
Situation: The president has a rule for every person. Every person individual e-mail goes into a folder for them. There are hundreds of rules, if not thousands. We implemented Exchange 2007. From there he gets constant errors that he cannot add any more rules. I am aware of the issue with rules as stated here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886616.
I absolutely need a third party app that allows unlimited rules for Exchange 2007. Any ideas?

- Hi there,
First things first, have you upped the default limit of his Exchange 2007 mailbox from 64k upto 256k?
Use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet with the -RulesQuota parameter.
Note that 256k is the upper hard limit - this cannot be modified.
To create custom client side rules check out: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/324568
Note there are also third party applications available - although i'm not aware of one that would immediately suite your needs. Check:

You could also try and recreate server side rules as client side ones.

- Wow. Thats just crazy.
Can I suggest Search Folders instead? He can create new, customized folders, based on the sender in his contacts or GAL:

This may be a route...- What's wrong with the Search (and Search Folders) or Group by (Sender) function?
