Outlook Rules

Have you received the error message below in Outlook 2010 when you try to create a new email rule once you have about 50-150 rules?

There is not enough space on the Microsoft Exchange Server to store all of your rules. The rules that failed to upload have been deactivated.

If you're using Exchange server 2007 or 2010 you can increase the maximum space allocated for users' rules by following these instructions.

1)  Open exchange management shell.

2)  Display the rules quota for the email address in question.
Type "get-mailbox joesmith@superdeluxecompany.com | select name,rulesquota

3)  Set the rules quota to the maximum of 256KB:
Type "Set-mailbox joesmith@superdeluxecompany.com -RulesQuota:256KB"

4)  Check that setting the quota was successful:
Type "get-mailbox joesmith@superdeluxecompany.com | select name,rulesquota"

A restart of Outlook and possibly other steps for the new quota to take effect may be required, I'm not sure on this if someone knows the answer please leave a comment.
