Outlook 2003 - Rules and Alerts problem

[Chris]

I have several email accounts set up. I set up a rule to
move email received on a specific account to a specific
folder. Works great. The problem is that I have also set
up rules to move junk email with specific text to the
Delete Items folder. Primarily I'm happy with body part
sizes and I'm not sick so the medication offers just
aren't for me.

Anyway when these rules run, even after specifying the
order in which I run them the messages that match
the "junk" list are still appearing in my Inbox and
subfolder as if they were never moved. I have seen them
go from the deleted folder back into an inbox. Why is
this not working? Has anyone else seen this?

I have the same problem using the Junk Mail Filter. I
have rules set up to move anything received through X
email account to X email's folder. Problem is, when I
set up the rules to automatically run - they move stuff
out of the junkmail folder to the account's folder. Only
way I can get it to work is to manually run the rules
periodically, and it will just check the Inbox - and
leaves the Junk-Mail folder out. The fun part is you see
the junk mail filter move the messages to junkmail, then
when Outlook runs the rules it takes them back out. I've
downloaded the junk mail filter update, etc, off
officeupdate.com also.

Same issue here.
