Do you have a second rule that is moving items to the deleted folder?
Unless Lists is in the deleted items folder, that rule is not the culprit.

By chance this morning when I arrived at the office, I clicked on "Recover
Deleted Items..." for the Inbox. There were several new messages there
that should not have been deleted. The following rule turned out to be the
culprit:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
though the pop.gmail.com account
and on this machine only
move it to the Lists folder
and stop processing more rules

When some messages from the pop.gmail.com account arrive (Outlook is set
to pop the messages from the Gmail account), they are supposed to be moved
to the Lists folder. The Lists folder is valid. Not every message is
deleted. Some of the messages are properly moved to the folder.
