Filtering errors in Outlook 2000

By dickw ·
I have a lot of filters set up and I get the following error messages on some of them:
'Cannot remove messages from the folder.' or
'You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation.'

If I go to the filter wizard and select 'Run Now', I don't always get the messages, but do sometimes. When I run again then they run without errors.

It seems to be certain filters that fail. Usually 'Junk E-mail' and several others that I have setup. Some of them I have removed and set them up again and they still fail occasionly.

Filtering errors in Outlook 2000

Are you opening any mailboxes which are not your primary mailbox? If you try to apply a move rule from one of these, you may not have the permissions to do so. If you are in a corporate environment, some mail server virus checkers slap a lock on each incoming message which has an attachment as it is checked for viruses, and this may be doing it to you.

Junk E-mail is a client rule, which only runs when Outlook is open. These rules theoretically run after all of the server rules. If a serverrule moves a message and does not stop further rule processing, then another rule tries to move the message, it will probably generate the message you are seeing.

I have also seen this error when I am looking at a message on one computer, move it on another computer, then try to move the message (or delete it) on the first computer.

I am opening mail on my desktop only. There is only the one mailbox. No rules are set up on the e-mail server. I'm not using exchange or any such setup.
