I am using Exchange SDK 5.5 for creating an exchange rule to move message with a particular class to a given folder. I first create a folder and then create a rule. This rule takes as a parameter the folder object created. The problem I am facing is that Rule does not work if the folder is just created before rule creation. If the folder already exists, and only rule is created passing that folder object, rule works fine. In addition if there is a bug delay between folder creation and rule creation, then also rule works. It seems like there is some exchange synch issue. Has anybody seen this kind of behavior? How can this be fixed? I have tried using CDO as well as MAPI to create this folder
