Sharing Outlook mail rules

Question

If one user has a set of useful mail rules they want to give to someone else, Outlook doesn't appear to support this properly. Even if the destination mailbox has all the correct folders created with the correct names, it seems Outlook uses the internal guid identifier, and when one imports the rules they are all marked with errors about folders not existing.

Is there a reliable way to export Outlook mail rules from one user to another?

Answer 1

In Tools|Rules and Alerts..., click the Options button on the RHS. There's an Export button on that dialog that allows you to export your rules.
