Message Rules...

I have been searching and can not find an answer. I just set up my message rules for emails containing (specific words) in the subject line to not download and to delete from server. I am still getting the emails with those specific words. Is this a bug and is there a fix for this? Thank you in advance for any help.

Just select Delete it from server and nothing else.

In general:

Have all rules that Delete it from server first.

Rules that divert mail to folders next.

All others last.

Make sure that every rule also has Stop processing more rules checked,
unless that option is grayed out.


These apply to WLMail as well as OE.
