Hi, Vanguard,

Okay, I think (with your help) I've narrowed it down. (This almost
deserves a new thread!)

Outlook, even with "No automatic filtering" selected and NO rules at
all, is moving some items to the Junk E-mail box. (This is after a
re-boot and confirmation that these settings stuck.)

It seems to me that this is a bug. AND, this behavior seems to have
priority and is apparently interfering with rules that I write.


Have you yet tried to load Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe
/safe") which will NOT load any plug-ins installed for Outlook? Maybe
your antivirus program's plug-in is being too intrusive. If that
fails to get rid of the problematic behavior then I'd try using
msconfig (or SysInternals AutoRuns) to disable all startup items,
reboot, and test again, or even try rebooting into Windows' Safe Mode
(with networking).
