I have created a rule which if an Email is received through a specified

three rules which is designed to deleted all spam, i.e. I am catching
valid mail with the first two rules and anything that fails those tests
should be perminently deleted.

However when such an Email arrives, a warning box appears advising that I
dod not have permission to carry out this action! The rule is then
automatically disabled, until I enable it and the whole process starts
again.

With the rule disabled offending Emails reach my Indox. If I then run the
run on my inbox the messages are then perminantly deleted without any
issue. Can anyone explain this?

Why do I not have the necessary perminssion when I am recieving the
Emails, but once I have got them all is well and they can be perminently
deleted.

That's a dangerous way of doing it. You can GUARANTEE that at some point, a
valid email that you ought to have read will be permanently deleted. Then
there's not even any way of knowing that you even received it. Change the
rule to just "delete" and not "permanently delete". trust me on this!- Hide quoted text -

I would ask you to let me be the judge of what I want to do, and not
to offer your advice on what you think I should do.

I believe my multiple posts, for which I apologise for, as well
actually enetering this particular thread (yes I have to use google
from work) asked a specific question. Why am I being told i do not
have permission to permanently delete when mail enters my Inbox from
downloading, but i can run the rule on my inbox manually and it works
fine.
