Why?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I have a question, when you’re switching from using Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2000, why does Outlook refuse to import message rules that are incompatible with older versions of Outlook? At least I think that’s what happened, when I imported the message rules, all of the “mail from specified account” rules didn’t import, and then when I tried to create those rules in Outlook it let me, but warned me that they would be incompatible with Outlook 98. Now I don’t want to argue with my laptop, but if I’m using 2000, why would I gave a rat’s ass if the rule wouldn’t work in 98?

Isn’t that sort of like getting a warning at your local US bank that your US money may not be spendable outside of the country? Is that even relevant?

    No there’s nothing like spending 45 minutes of a Friday morning on a conference call with a bunch of tech folks working for our ISP, trying to get some clear idea of what policies and filtering they have in place now, and what new ones are coming, only to come to the conclusion that we…
