In office97, is there any way to force a rule to run? We use team calendar and it is filling up the deleted mail folder. Some of our users do not want deleted mail to automatically be deleted on shutdown. I wrote a rule to move .cal files to another folder, then delete permanently. However, if the user doesn't "run" the rule, it won't work. Can the rule automatically run?

Thank you.

I don't know of any way to do this.

You could perhaps work around this by setting the rule to run whenever a message with a particular subject (eg "Server Rule Test Message") is received. Then you could send a message with that subject to all the people you want it to run for.
