I think I can help here: it's connection based at least; maybe also timing based? If Outlook "sees" a very slow/unreliable connection towards the IMAP store for which it's supposed to execute the rule, it simply disables that rule! Doh! :-s Typical scenario for me: connected to office via VPN at a conference where a shared WiFi ends up in a 128Kbps line. The VPN just drops from time to time but recovers; if during this one attempts to send Outlook will most likely disable the rule for "Sent Items". > 3.

I'm also plagued by the "Outlook stall" problem, haven't found a way around it yet; initially I've suspected it to be hardware but I see it happening on various configs... Only common things: XP + SP2 and Outlook 2003. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
