Rules: How to stop from acting on Deleted Items?

P

Poulsboy

I have a dozen or so rules, mostly to move messages to folders based
on the subject line. They operate so slowly that messages will often
sit in the Inbox for 5 minutes (sometimes much longer) before they
fire.

Therefore, I often see the New Mail icon and delete messages before
the Rules fire and move them.

However, I will check later and the Rule has taken the messages that I
deleted and moved them out of Deleted Items and into the folder. I
then have to delete them AGAIN. This is quite annoying.

Once I delete a message, I want all Rule processing to end. Is this
possible?
