Outlook 2007 Rules

[Ira Solomon]

I have a number of rules that move incoming mail to different folders.
I put in a new rule which is the first in the list that says:

If you see "viagra: or "megadik" in either the subject or the body
permantly delete it and don't run more rules.

It doesn't work when the messages come in. But if a run the rule on
the junk emal folder it works fine.
I want it to work on incomming messages.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

That's probably because mail is moved to the Junk Mail folder before rules
can run on it. You'd have to turn off the Junk Mail handling to have your
rule kick in at receive time

Thanks. I'm sure you are right.
It is obvious now that you point it out.
