This worked for me.


  1. Export the rules out to local file.
  2. Delete all the rules.
  3. Restart outlook.
  4. Open Rules again, if you see (client-only) rules again delete them all.
  5. Create any simple rule and save it.
  6. Restart Outlook
  7. Open Rules, this time you will be asked to choose which rules you want to use "client" or "server" choose client.
  8. Import the saved rules from step 1.


Hope this helps.
