I need to reorganize my Outlook files. Unfortunately, Rules store the complete path and file name
for target folders. I would like to export the rules, edit the path and file name and import them
back.

Anyway to do this?

No. The Rules Wizard will not export the rules in a human-readable
or -editable format.

There is no such utility. The only way to edit the rules is using rules
wizard.

Rules Manager 1.88 has some promise, but I've just started playing with it. I have 2000 folders and over 300 rules, and the built-in rules system in Outlook is just unwieldy. If anyone knows of another rules add-in, please speak up.

You are obviously not aware that the forum you are posting in is leaching
off the Microsoft News Servers.
That's not your fault. The owners of this forum should make that clear.
You would do better to use a news reader and subscribe to these groups
direct rather than through this forum.
However if you still want to stay with this forum then please, for the
benefit of those who access this group through the MS News server (the vast
majority), please do NOT change the subject line. It makes it look like a
new post.

Thank you.

Yeah, an extremely farked over webnews-for-dummies gateway to Usenet by a
leech site to pretend they have a large community. Their gateway doesn't
know how to properly format the forum's posts to comply with Usenet
standards. It creates one overly long line per paragraph of sentences
rather than physically wrap the lines at 76, or less, characters. It hasn't
a clue on how to indent and prefix the quoted posts. Their gateway sucks.
