Default Help with Rules: can't select Public Folders.

Does anyone know why it's sometimes possible, but not always, to use a rule
to move or copy a message to a public folder? I don't seem to be able to
select the public folder; I can select it, but it doesn't stick. The
inconsistency is a bit weird. I can't even make a, 'from scratch' exact
copy of a currently working rule that moves a message to a public folder.
Weird!

Hi Dianne:

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I've created the folder(s) in question and have verified the
permissions. It's very weird behaviour! Occasionally when I have this
problem, I can create the exact same rule several times in a row without
success, when, out of the blue, the public folder selection will
unexpectedly stick.
