Two Rules one one message

D

Hi everyone,

I have been using SpamSeive and loving it. However, I was having
problems with setting up a rule for it. I set up the rule and it was
moving everything that the script looked at into a junk mail folder.

I have changed the rule so that it now says 'mark it if it is spam"
and i want to use another rule to say 'if spam, move to folder'

However, there is a greyed out line in the rules which states do not
apply other rules to this message if criteria has been met.

Does anyone know how I can uncheck this box?

You can't: any rule which moves a message or runs an AppleScript and thus is
no longer in the Inbox portal cannot be seen by further Rules. Thus they
will all have " do not apply other rules to this message if criteria has
been met" checked and dimmed, since you're running an AppleScript, and you
cannot remove it.

If you really want to run a second rule only on those messages which have
been marked as spam, you'll have to do it manually. Sort your message box
(Inbox) by category, shift-click the top and bottom message of Junk (or
other "spam") category, and select Message menu/Rules/That Rule do it on all
of them periodically.

I don't use SpamSieve yet, so I may well be missing a better alternative. A
lot of people here, including a few MVPs, do use it, and may be along in a
few moments with a better suggestion.
