I had a computer crash late last year and although my rules were salvaged, I have to go back in and turn them all on again. Did you have that happen or did you completely start over? Is there a faster way to turn them all on?

I’ve been enjoying using rules since I first read about it on your website – perfect timing too because I was contemplating using categories and was trying to weigh the pros and cons of the differences. Only frustration so far was when I need to update or check a rule and could not figure out a way to sort them so that I didn’t have to manually scroll through searching for the rule. Have you discovered anything that’s helpful with this situation?

Thanks so much for your note.

 

How did you salvage your rules? I had lost all mine and having to re-create them made me realise just how much time they save! I think there is a way to save or export them but haven't yet worked that out. Have you found anything further?

 

Re the sorting of rules we've already created, I also find that very laborious. Outlook is a more meaty version than Outlook Express, of course, but even so I haven't been able to find a work-around in my Outlook 2003. My guess is that eventually Microsoft will improve that feature but as I've not yet migrated to the latest Outlook software I don't know if it's happened yet.
