Rules problem with Outlook 2003

[Guest]

Hey all,

I have outlook 2003 on windows vista, and everything is running fine, except
for one thing: I have 2 accounts: the first one downloads (through a rule
I've set) the emails to the main inbox folder ( A ); the second one downloads
(through another rule) the messages to a second folder ( B ), which has 3
subfolders; 3 additional rules should MOVE the messages that come in the
second folder ( B ) to the 3 subfolders, but instead of MOVING them, the
rules COPIES the messages from the second folder ( B ) to the 3 subfolders .
What's the problem??


Thanks!

What you describe simply can't be your configuration, first, because Outlook
doesn't use rules to download anything and, second, because Outlook's rule
act automatically ONLY when the messages download during normal send/receive
operations. You can't have automatic rules that move messages to some
non-Inbox folder and then other rules that move them elsewhere (although you
can have rules do that if run manually). Please describe your configuration
accurately.
