Hi, I have Outlook 2007, but had the same issue in a prior version. If I
have configured outlook for multiple email accounts, when I establish a rule,
such as if incomming mail is from "Fred" move the email to the "Delete"
folder. When I establish this rule, it only seems to work with the primary
email account and does not work with any of the other configured email
accounts. Why is that?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!

Rules will only work on the Inbox of the default pst file AFAIK. Are the
other accounts IMAP or something other than POP?
 
My other email is a POP3 - Hotmail

Why can't rules work on any configured mail source?

If you have a question that is NOT the same as the post you are replying to,
please start another thread.
Rules only work on the Inbox of the default delivery location AFAIK....

They can if they deliver to the same mailbox. If you have Outlook 2007
delivering a second POP account's messages to a folder other than the delivery
location Inbox I don't think rules work.
