I just found this link..and here I thought I was either doing something wrong
and/or I was the only one experiencing the problem. Here it is December 8
2007 and I am still experiencing the same problem with message rules that I
now know many others are also having a problem with. In addition, when I try
to move the errant message to the folder myself, if it is to go to anything
but the inbox (and not the folders set up within the inbox) I am unable to
open the inbox to access the folder I want to move the message to. Does
anyone know whether there has been any solution offered to this problem yet?
Thanks.
