Outlook 2002 problem with rules

[mark]

Good day:

I have multiple email accounts that come into Outlook. I have a spam
rule first that looks for a SPAM in the subject line and moves it to a
junk mail folder. Then I have a rule for each account so they all go
into their appropriate folders.

Problem is I am getting 2 copies of each spam mail, one in each account
folder and one in the junk mail folder. This worked fine in Outlook
2000, and I can not figure out why it is doing this now.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Mark

Do you have the "stop processing more rules" action on the rule that moves
the junk?

This is not new. Every version of Outlook I've used requires that action if
you want a move instead of a copy. The only time it wouldn't be needed
would be if your move rule were the final rule in the list.
