PRB: Rule Component Cannot Move Messages From Inbox to Public Folder (233981)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Development Kit (EDK) 5.5
This article was previously published under Q233981

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.
