OK here we go and this is not going to make much sense.

The mail rules are run from the router task as the Domino server is delivering the mail to you. It picks this up from your Calendar profile or might be Busy information (so long day). The likely hood is that this is not correct and needs a kick.

Open your Calendar and make sure the Configure button is not on the left. This will set up to do’s etc. <– trust me on this it forces stuff to happen.

Disable your Rule.
Create another Rule
Enable new rule – then disable and delete the rule.

Then see if yours works.

I told you it does not make sense but it will force the mail rules to be correct. You might need to restart the router task as this will also help. but not always needed.

Thanks a lot! now its working fine.

To enhance Gabe9527′s comment, the reason that works is how the information stored locally is done. The rules set fields on the CalendarProfile document. Sometimes these fields get messed up (usually when you delete a rule with out disabling it first), and when the do the special field(s) $filterformula_1 thru how ever many rules you have, need to be reset. The mini view uses a special field called $filterformula_0. For some reason, when you enable this feature it resets them all accordingly, but when you reset the rules, they don’t fix it. I have an agent somewhere that can clean up these fields when that happens if anyone wants it. Because, sometimes the miniview item will not fix it.

Hi,

I’ having the same problem – enabled user rules mail-forwarding.

Had a look for the Configuration button on the calendar but can’t find it – not sure what it looks like. Also disabled the rule/created a new one then deleted the old one AND restarted the router task and it still doesn’t work…

am I doing something wrong?

I’m also confused on this? What does the configuration button on the left looks like? Thanks.

If you see the “TO DO” “New Notices” and “Follow Ups” at the bottom left hand side of the Calendar you do not need to look for the Configuration button as it is not needed. If it was there is would mean that this was not set for the Calendar or Client.

Here is a screen.
The miniview looks like this :
It is the blue square titled “Follow Up” below the “Tools” entry .
If one didn’t configure it, one see a big and blue “configure” button at this place.

Dear Mr. Ahmed,
Assalam o Alaekum,

Please provide some simple answer using tools of Lotus Notes 8.5
Never mind but i believe Office 2007 has better compatibility options.

Delete the RULE completely. Then recreate it. Then from the Admin Client at the Server Console Tell Router Quit -> Load Router. That will update the RULE in the routing Tables.

I’ve been following this thread for a couple weeks and have had no luck in restoring my rule to forward my email from Notes to Gmail. Is there any way to correct the routing tables without alerting my company IT guy? Rules for mail forwarding are allowed (for now), and I would hate to turn my IT department’s attention to this rule, and ultimately disallow this rule. OR, do you have a suggestion that would not alert IT about my rule issue that I could pose to my IT guy to “refresh” my profile?

Run this script

If note.isnewnote Then ‘ this is a new rule
‘ we need a new sequence number

Set viewcollection = view.allentries
If viewcollection.count = 0 Then
If profile.getitemvalue("Use_CalendarRule")(0) = "1" Then
nrulenum=1
Else
nrulenum=0
End If
