Problem With Exporting Outlook Rules

Question

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021

I wanted to export my Outlook rules. I clicked on Home, Rules, Manage Rules and Alerts. Then I click through ignoring the error message as I always get it:

There aren't any rules open. I tried closing Outlook and opening it to make sure there isn't any rule open that needs to be saved.

Answer 1

Hi @Stewart Berman ,

Did you create client-only rules? If you use client-only rules that point to local resource files, for example moving items to a folder in a .pst file, and you use multiple computers to access Microsoft Outlook, rule conflicts may occur. Therefore, some client-only rules may not allow you to export.

Did you scroll down the rules list and look for one or more rules that have red text?
