Junk Scan Stopped by Rules?

[Guest]

Hey everyone, quick question:

In my Outlook 2003 setup, I have several e-mail accounts set up, and several
PST files which the rules use to organize. Upon Send/Receive, certain e-mail
will go into my "Personal" PST (by default, there is no rule definition for
this), then rules apply and move certain mail coming through certain
accoujnts into my "Business" PST, etc. Pretty much each account has a
separate PST and "Inbox" all accesible to my through the shortcut bar.

Now, what seems to be happening is that the Junk Filter which moves "junk
e-mail" to the default "Junk E-mail" folder is only operating correctly on
the "main" PST, the default one that everything gets dumped into before rules
apply to move things to other PST folders.

Any of the e-mail that gets moved doesn't seemed to be scanned first nor
dropped into the Junk E-mail folder -- so while my main default Inbox remains
pretty clean, all secondary Inbox's have all the junk forwarded to them.

I'm assuming that somehow this is happening by the "junk filter" not apply
to messages moved out of the default PST. Anyone know a way to work around
this? Perhaps by setting up a rule to move junk to the Junk Folder, before
moving the good stuff to the other folders? I can't seem to find anything
that allows you to modify the way Junk E-mail is processed beyond the simple
options.

Thanks for any replies are thoughts.

No, I haven't. I was seeing if I was missing something before I patched and
fudged stuff up more. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
