Outlook Express message rule does not work??

[Guest]

I set a message rule that all email messages from a specified account
(gmail.com) would go to a specific folder I set up (Gmail). But the gmail
messages go to the general Inbox folder, not the Gmail folder I set up. Any
ideas on a solution??

Hi,
The order of your rules is critical. The gmail rule should probably be first
so that other rules aren't applied to those messages.

My gmail rule is this:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the To line contains {myusername}@gmail.com
Move it to the GMail folder
and Stop processing more rules
Note: substitute your actual address for {myusername}

Many thanks. Problem solved. The Stop processing more rules was the trick -
even though I don't have anymore rules!

Where the To line contains {myusername}@gmail.com

and Stop processing more rules

This an OE issue and not an IE issue, please address your queries to correct
