Vista - Message rules not properly applied

Hi folks

Vista Home Premium/Windows Mail

Until the last couple of days, Message rules worked properly. When the
conditions were met, MR would Delete it and Mark as Read and I would never
see the post.

Now, the header(s) are there and if I try to open the post, I get a pane
saying "Unable to open ..." Now if I go to another newsgroup and back again;
Lo & behold the rule has worked and deleted the unwanted post.

Not the end of the world, but any ideas out there how to let MR do it all in
one?

I use the "Tools - Synchronize All" first.. this retrieves the messages &
runs the rules, and deletes the trolls, and marks them read...
Then when I go to each group, those deleted messages are gone.

Hmmm,

Is there a difference between "synchro all" and "down load messages every 10
minutes"?
