Is Kutools an add-on, or does it have to be installed with administrative rights?

Hi, PKACS, for first install, you have 30-day free trial to use Kutools for Excel without any administrative right.

Once this is set up, is there a way to get it to not process if you have "When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder? Maybe an exception to the rule? As it is right now, if you are replying to a message that's not in your inbox, this rule puts a copy of the "sent" reply in the same folder that the original message is as well as in the folder that was specified in the rule.
