OL2000: Outlook Express Rules Not Imported After Outlook Upgrade (222265)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 for Windows NT 4.0
  • Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 for Windows 98
  • Microsoft Outlook 2000

This article was previously published under Q222265

SYMPTOMS

If you create a rule that includes the action to Mark the message as watched or ignored in Outlook Express 5, this rule is not imported into the Rules Wizard when you upgrade to Outlook 2000.

CAUSE

The Outlook Rules Wizard does not have a comparable rule action, so the rule is ignored when you upgrade from Outlook Express 5 to Outlook 2000.
