I have several e-mail accounts that I check through outlook 2003. I set my
message rules to filter messages as they come in to go to a specific folder.
Some rules work correctly but others do the following: I set up {...message
through the "Juno" account, move it to the "Juno" folder} When I click
apply, the program changes "Juno" in the account line to "netzero" and
closes. I go back and fix it and it does the same thing. It is incredibly
frustrating. I just want to have my mail sorted thats all!!! Any help or
suggestion are appreciated!
 
Hi Lee,

try the additive "implement no further rules" behind every rule..

(Sorry my Outlook is in german so I don´t know the real english text in the
rules wizard)

Maybe it helps.
 
I tried including "and stop processing more rules" at the end of the rule,
but it still changed the "account" to one other than what I selected.
Thanks for the suggestion. Any others?

"stop processing more rules".
 
I don't have the option of "implement no further rules", I just have what I
said previously: "stop processing more rules" Any further help is
appreciated...

I realize that. I wasn't responding to your post. I was responding to
Oliver's not knowing that the German translation to "implement no further
rules" actually reads "stop processing more rules" in English.
 
I am having the exact same problem. I tried the "stop processing more rules"
option and it made absoutely no difference to the root of the problem.

Here is what I did ...

I opened Toos\Rules Wizard.
I did New\Start from a blank rule\check messages when they arrive
I selected through the specified account
I specefied "(e-mail address removed)" and clicked next.
I selected "move to the sepcified folder" and "stop processing more rules"
I specified "ECD" and clicked next.
I clicked next on the exceptions
I selected "Turn on this rule" and clicked finish.
On the Rules Wizard I clicked Ok to close
I opened Toos\Rules Wizard.
The rule that I just made specifing "through the (e-mail address removed)
move it to the ECD folder" now reads "through the (e-mail address removed) move it to
the ECD folder"

I did this with all five of my accounts. They all came back saying
"through the (e-mail address removed) move it to the shanemccook folder"
"through the (e-mail address removed) move it to the ECD folder"
"through the (e-mail address removed) move it to the shane.is.root folder"
"through the (e-mail address removed) move it to the FXManVA folder"

The only rule that stayed correct was:
"through the (e-mail address removed) move it to the FXMan27 folder"

At the suggestion of one of my professors who is a MCSE, I tried running
"detect and repair" and it made no difference.
