OL2000: Outlook Express Rules Not Imported After Outlook Upgrade

ID: Q222265

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 2000
Microsoft Outlook Express version 5 for Windows 98
Microsoft Outlook Express version 5 for Windows NT 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you create a rule that includes the action to Mark the message as watched or ignored in Outlook Express 5, this rule is not imported into the Rules Wizard when you upgrade to Outlook 2000.

CAUSE

The Outlook Rules Wizard does not have a comparable rule action, so the rule is ignored when you upgrade from Outlook Express 5 to Outlook 2000.
