Stop expanding personal folders when rules processed.

[mbowler9]

I am using Outlook 2002 with SP3. My email account stores emails on the server and periodically the server will expunge old emails. I prefer to keep all my emails so I created personal folders with the same structure as the exchange account and I use rules to move a copy of emails to the appropriate personal folder. When I get email, the personal folders will fully expand and I would like to prevent this from happening, as I only use them as an archive to look up old email. I do my daily reading from the exchange account. Can I prevent folders from expanding?
