Rule is copying item instead of moving it

[Michele Craft]

I have a .inbox (. to make it come first in the list) and
a receipts folder under my personal folders. I've created
a rule to move anything with "read:" in the subject to the
receipts folder on my personal. Then I have some rules to
move anything else (3 rules, one for each importance to
capture all e-mails) to my .inbox.

The receipts move rule is putting items in the receipts
folder but it also leaves a copy in the .inbox (indicating
that it's getting captured in the 2nd set of rules). I
specifically run the receipts rule first so it's taken
care of but I can't get it to stop putting a copy in
the .inbox AND the receipts folder. The rule is definitely
set up to move and not copy.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try adding "stop processing more rules" to the receipts rule to prevent
those messages from being acted on by the other set of rules.
