I just started using Outlook (via Outlook Connector) to read mail from my MSN
account. I created a bunch of rules to run for moving mail when it is first
received, but the rules don't run automatically run. Instead I have to go to
the "run rules now" dialog, and check all the rules to run them. Then they
all run fine at the same time and my inbox clears out nicely, with the emails
sorting into various personal folders.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steve

BTW, I'm using Outlook 2007 with the latest Connector version.

In general, rules won't run automatically on MSN/Hotmail accounts.
