Mac Outlook 2011 Crashes Running Exchange Mail Rules

Nov 24, 2010 2:00AM PST

When I'm running mail rules on my Exchange account in Outlook 2011, the app continually crashes. I've tried finding the offending mail rule, but the issue doesn't seem to associate with any single rule: it just appears to be an issue running Exchange-based rules (as opposed to local IMAP/POP rules).

When I turned off all my Excahnge-based rules, Outlook became stable.

This also appears to be a carry over issue from Entourage 2008, where I began having the same problem, just before I updated.

Is anyone else seeing this or have any clues on how to workaround it?

Mac OS X 10.6.5
Microsoft Outlook 2011 (v14.0.1)
