Our rules wizard tries to create server-based rules on the router level wherever possible; these are processed by our service router/local delivery mechanism, even when outlook is not running. Therefore, the rules are strictly "in-transit" rules.
You can however use Outlook client-side rules as well; if you click on Extras->Organize messages (in OL 2003, might look different in older versions), you will have a button saying rules and notifcations. this button will take you to outlooks built-in rules wizard that can be used to create client-side rules. These are processed by outlook directly against the message store and can therefore be applied to messages already downloaded to your folders! There is a button for this ("Apply these rules now") on the screen.
hope this helps, cheers,
Florian.
