Outllok 2002 Message rules work inconsistently

I have set up three message rules telling Outlook to move
mail to specific folders based on either subject or
recipient. I know that I have worded these rules properly,
because they sometimes get "obeyed," but other times
everything ends up in my inbox. This can happen even in
the same batch of incoming mail--some of it ends up moved,
and some stays in the inbox. I have looked at the subject
header over and over again-- there are no obvious
differences.

Any ideas why, or better yet, what to do about it?

I have Outlook 2002 and Windows XP Pro.

Thanks.
 
Perhaps more than one rule is acting on a particular message when you didn't
intend for that to happen. Try adding "stop processing more rules" at the
end of each rule and see if that helps.

Sorry no help - only more of the same. My ONE "thru
specified account/move to" rule (what could be simpler?)
gets applied inconsistently. Driving me nuts - anyone
have an answer/fix? Can only assume it's a bug.

Thanks, Ali
