Default Problems with Migration and Rules Wizard

I have a large number of rules set in the Outlook rules wizard. Those rules make all incoming email messages from certain email addresses to be automatically deposited in particular mail folders I designate with each rule. For example, Rule 1 is all incoming emails from jack@hotmail.com go into the Jack folder, Rule 2 is all incoming emails from jill@hotmail.com go into the Jill folder, and son on.



I originally created and setup the mail folder structure and the rules in Outlook 2000 and then much later migrated to Outlook 2003. I've just made a new PST file in Outlook 2003 (default named Personal Folders) due to the inherent limitations of the Outlook 2000 PST file. This new PST file co-exists within the normal outlook mail view with all the existing folders. So now I have two PST files operating simultaneosly: all the existing mails are store in the old PST file and any new mails I put in the new Personal Folders file will be store in the new PST file.

I dragged and dropped all the existing folders into the new Personal Folders folder. The problem is, the rules didn't get migrated over to the new Personal Folders folder, so now all the rules have become invalidated because they are looking for folders that no longer exist in the place they are looking because they were moved - that place being where the folders originally were. Those existing folders all now exist in exactly the same way, except they are in the new Personal Folders folder (which is the new PST file).

Is there some way I can make it so that each of those existing rules gets updated with the new location of each folder that has been moved?

Thanks!
