Hi all,

I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I have set up about
20 filtering rules in Outlook 2003. I have noticed that several of
the rules do not seem to fire when mail comes in. I have configured
all of my rules to move emails upon arrival to folders and most of
them work but a few just seem to not work and dump email into my
default inbox. All of my rules are enabled. If I run the rules
manually they work just fine. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks!

Outlook 2003, version 11, build 5608
 
Wow, why that many rules? Is this to catch Junk E-mail? Better set your Junk
E-mail Filter to a higher setting then.

Do you have "and stop processing rules" added to each rule and sorted your
rules accordingly? This will prevent conflicting rules or several rules
applying to one message.
