Rules vs. Junk Mail

[Guest]

Product: Outlook 2003

I have one rule which looks at the "to" field to see messages sent to my wife, and those messages are moved to a folder just for her.

The problem is that the rule to move these messages are ran FIRST, and then after that the junk mail filter is ran on the inbox SECOND.

The problem is that it does not scan and remove the junk mail that was already sent to my wifes folder.

While reading around, I found there is no way to make the junk filter run first, then the rules second.

So my question is - is there a way to get the junk mail filter to also scan other folders (my wifes mail) other then just the inbox?

Yep, wait for SP1; it will be fixed then.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I can never get the Junk Mail
feature to actually catch anything. Opposite from the original post,
it looks like some mail will flash in the Junk Mail folder, but then
my regular rules steal hits from there, and filters the mail
elsewhere. How do I get the Junk Mail to do a "Stop Processing Rules"
function after it gets a hit?

Thanks.

You don't. If a rule applies to a spam message the rule wins. Same thing;
fixed in SP1
