    I copied the Outlook 2003 pst folder to my new computer.
    I opened Outlook 2007 on the new machine, without setting up email rules.
    I used File|open|Outlook data file, and browsed to the location of the 2003 pst folder and opened it.
    My 2003 data appeared.
    I used Tools|Account Settings|Data Files and made the 2003 folder the default folder.
    I went to the folder list, right clicked and closed the default 2007 data.
    So, I had only the "2003" data folder list showing.
    I created the email account, which defaulted to delivering email to the "2003" data file.

    And now 100 or so rules for sorting email have disappeared.

    What did I do wrong?:confused:
