Trouble with Rules

[Guest]

I've installed the AVG anti-spam program and it is properly marking my spam
message with [SPAM] in the subject line. I made a rule in Outlook to have
all incoming messages with [SPAM] in the subject to be moved to my Deleted
box. But they're not moving on their own - only if I run the rule manually.
I am assuming that the problem is that the rule is running BEFORE the
anti-spam program is running and marking them. Any way around this??? Very
annoying to have to run the rule manually - makes it pointless really!

Thanks in advance!

You cannot run rules automatically after the mail is received. It has to be
applied only to incoming mail. Since the Spam label is not applied until
after the mail is in the Inbox, you must run the rule manually.

No way around it, unless AVG can move the message to another folder.
