I am using Office XP and have set up multiple "Rules". I
have set up all of them the same by using "move new
messages from someone" entering an e-mail address
and "send to folder". All of them work except one. If
sends the correct items to the folder but also items that
have nothing to do with the sender's e-mail address. The
other "rules" send only the specified e-mails to the
specified folders. I have tried redoing it twice. What I
want to happen is my inbox to be my garbage e-mail and
the other folders to have only specific items put into
them.
Thanks for any help

Do you have the "stop processing more rules" clause specified?
 
No I don't have "stop processing more rules" checked

I suspect that's your problem. By not having htat action, you're allowing
more than one rule to operate on the message and it's pruducing the side
effects you see.
