I reversed the logic for the rule, moving the email except if the sender is
in the contacts folder, and that works, but the final rule to move
everything else still doesn't get executed. It's seems as soon as the
contacts folder is involved in a rule, subsequent rules don't work.

Have you disabled all rules except the one to check for the sender is in
your contacts and the last rule for catch-all? Does the rule to check
on sender use the stop-clause rule?

Are you moving? Or are you moving a copy? It would've been better if
Microsoft had referred to these actions as just 'move' and 'copy'. Some
folks think 'move a copy' is a 'move'.

With just the 2 rules enabled - "Move if sender in contacts" and the
catch-all rule - just what are those rules? That is, tell us what the
rules actually are. Hard to troubleshoot something that is vaguely
described rather than actually shown.
