Well, both Outlook settings were already as you suggest in your instructions.
Ouch... Kill all of my rules. That would hurt. I have about 30 of them. Are
you suggesting deleting them and reentering/importing them, or just removing
them completely?
I guess that I could export them and run Outlook like that for a while to
see if it works better.
I used to use 'stop after processing' on most of them, but there were
problems. Basically I have a bunch of rules that do some move messages
around. Then, there is a final rulle, that makes a backup copy of all mail
that a previous rule did not already process. Even messages that were 'moved'
were still being backed up at the end. So, I set a category of 'NoBackup' is
each rule and backup all messages except those with the NoBackup category.
Works well, but, if you are correct, may be my problem.
