Okay, rules and mails are tough with this. Outlook express never had the
problem.
Mine is a bit unique.
I have a website...and a seperate folder under the inbox that the mail from
that site goes to.
I also have seperate folders underneath that folder for specific emails.
So a message to '(e-mail address removed)' would go in the contact folder,
underneatht eh server folder, underneath the main inbox folder.
I listed all these rules for each email address first. Then last I added a
'if from 'this account' (my server) place them in the main folder for that
server. Thus, if the mail address does not match any of the previous rules,
it would 'catch the rest' and send them to the main folder for my server
(which is under the inbox folder).
What happens is this....sometimes...and not everytime...I get duplicates of
mails in my server folder AND the main folder catch all.
Not everytime.....
I do not understnad how the order of the rules is important if the rules
don't pay attention to them anyway...
My only fix was to allow any unknown mail to go into the inbox since outlook
would not allow me to auto move mail to a folder that was from a specific
account.
Really annoying..Outlook express had no rpoblem at all with this. It did the
rules in order and never ever duplicated anything...
Very frustrating. I just hope the problem described makes sense.
Note: Using 'exceptions' would take forever to make a rule and involve
endless 'except for this..and except for this...) Why not just have it deal
with a mesage once and not keep playing with it?
