OE rules problem
 

Hi,

I'm using OE 6.0 on my home system and have a number of rules setup to
either move incoming mail to specific folders or to delete it based on
subject or message content. The delete rules are the last ones in the list.

I've recently changes a couple of rules and now I find mail being deleted
which should have been moved into a folder.

The rules look okay.

Is there a registry key or a file somewhere in the system which might be the
problem?

TIA

Bernie

Make sure all the rules that divert mail are above the others, and make sure
all have Stop processing more rules checked also.

Bruce,

Many thanks, adding "stop processing" seems to have fixed the problem (but
doesn't explain why it all worked fine until I deleted / modified a couple
of the rules).

You're welcome. Stop processing more rules keeps rules from affecting each
other. It was just coincidence that you were lucky until you made the
change. After that, one of your Delete rules was affecting a Move rule.
