My rule creates duplicates when they're moved to another folder?

[Guest]

When I set up a rule to "send an email to a folder" "from a specific sender,"
it creates duplicates. It leaves one in the inbox and puts one in the
correct folder?

Anyone know how to resolve this? I've deleted the rules and recreated them
several times.

Yes. Include the "stop processing more rules" acction.

Thanks Brian. I tried that, now I'll have to wait for new emails. I think
I'm going to have to "stop" these on all my emails. I have numerous rules
and several email accounts filtered into this Outlook box.

Depends. It's only needed if the message might match more than one rule, I
think.
