MS Outlook Rules

[Riaan]

I have about 9 accounts that recieve in Outlook. So I use the wizard ad
select "check messages when they arrive" and then I select "messages through
a specific account". After this, I specify which account. I then select
"move to specified folder" and then select the correct folder. This I do for
all nine accounts. This should essentially cause the mails from the 9
different accounts to each go into their correct folder, right?

Here comes the problem...mail arrives in wrong folders!

So I go to check the rules. Only about 3 of the nine are correct. The
others do the following: their account through which email is recieved has
CHANGED to one of the three that work. I thought this was my mistake with
the first one, but when SIX others are also assigned to the wrong account I
became suspicious. In any case, I then click to change the "specified
account" and change it to the correct one. Simple enough, no? Problem! It
shows correctly, but AS SOON AS I PRESS APPLY, before my very eyes, the
specified account changes to one of the 3 that works correctly! No matter
how many times, no matter what I do, I've even removed the rules and re-done
them...same story.

Could anyone advise please?

Do you also include the "stop processing more rules" action on each rule
(except for the last one)? You should.
