PRB: Rule Component Cannot Move Messages From Inbox to Public Folder

ID: Q233981

The information in this article applies to:

Exchange Development Kit (EDK), version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

You cannot use the Rule Component available in the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Development Kit in the Platform SDK to create a rule that performs a MOVE operation from a private store to a public store (for example, a rule that moves messages from an Inbox to a public folder).

CAUSE

Rules that move messages from private to public store are run by the client. The Rule Component is for use with server-side rules only.

RESOLUTION

A workaround is to add the public folder to the Address Book and use a FORWARD rule to send the mail.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
