I have a number of rules that move email to varying boxes based on word in
the senders address. Then the last rule moves any remaining emails to other
folders based on account. Problem is I end up with a copy in both places.
I have checked and rechecked to make the rule is to MOVE the emails, not
copy. The rule is definitely MOVE. Why do I end up with a copy in both
places ?

This is Outlook 2003, but I recall having that problem with OL XP too. I
ended up using a third party tool, but I would rather not do that again if I
can help it.

Thanks,
Scott
 
Do you have the stop processing additional rules attached to each rule. (I'm
thinking you might have 2 or more rules trying to process an incoming item.)
 
Ahh! No, I didn't do that. I am trying reason through this - its not
logical to tell it to MOVE to another folder, then have it apply another
rule that says MOVE it somewhere else. Once its MOVED the first time, its
not where it was for processing any more. Oh, well, THANKS. Hopefully this
will cure it.
