Outlook 2007 Rule does not work

I am trying to create a rule where I can filer e-mails from Blockbuster and
move them to the "blockbuster" folder. I have three other rules that do the
almost the same.

No matter how I setup the rule outlook seems to only copy the e-mail and not
move it. The other rules I have setup (and function fine) simply move
e-mail messages sent to a specific account and move such messages to a
folder of my choosing.

Here, all I want to do is move messages from a sender to a folder and I
can't get it to work. I have been told to add the "stop processing more
messages" rule however I have 3 other rules.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
how many rules should apply to the blockbuster rule? the last rule that
should act on it needs a stop processing. That rule should be the one that
moves it.

if you have 6 rules, stop processing only tells the rule to stop processing
rules on a message if the message meets the condition... the other 5 will
work on messages that don't meet the condition of the blockbuster rule.
 
1 should apply. Just to move the message. Should I use the stop processing
rule on the blockbuster rule?
 
Yes. Stop processing on the blockbuster rule will move it and stop looking
to see if more rules apply to it.
 
The "stop processing" rule worked. Thank you. Took 2 months to get a
correct answer that worked!
