so i am hearing that there is a limit in how many rules you can write and run in outlook 2003. Does anyone know what that limit is and is there a limit in outlook 2007 and if there is, is there a larger limit?
Thanks!

i was just doing some research and was curious on how many or what the limit was.

On the server side read bens article link.
(32KB per mailbox in 2003, 64KB default, max 256KB, 2007).

On the client side no limit to number or size, but as Ben R. implied you need to simplify the rules to prevent conflicts.
One way to do this is to flter by known contacts. Example create one rule with each of your family members listed as contacts and move these automatically to a Family folder. Create another for those that send you Jokes, Business, etc.
