Hi office gurus, I'm also now struggling with a weird problem that seems to ghost around on some people's MS Office for a couple of years now. I could never find a clear answer so hopefully somebody on here can give me a hint. I created a rule to permanently delete emails with 'Delivery' in the subject. (BTW this seems to be the latest scam to bombard people with alleged 'Mailer Daemon - delivery failed' crap.) Anyway every time I receive an email with 'Delivery failed' in the subject, 1. the rule does not delete the email AND 2. the rule gets turned off (unchecked) 3. I get an error message that says: You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation. When I run the rule manually it does work though and all the other rules I have work fine. In the beginning right after I created it, it all worked ok but since last week it started acting up. I'm running Office 2000 (version 9.0). Any thoughts? cheers sol P4 640, Zalman CNPS7700-Cu cooled Asus P5GDC Deluxe Asus nVidia 6200 Cubase, VSTi and other CPU hogs

Sorry folks, I meant MS Outlook 2000 of course. P4 640, Zalman CNPS7700-Cu cooled Asus P5GDC Deluxe Asus nVidia 6200 Cubase, VSTi and other CPU hogs
