From what you say, Emailer must run items thru the whole thing one-
at-a-
time, and it must do the thing which is specified in the LAST
Action that
it goes thru regardless of what the previous Actions say (unless
you have
that box checked).
What Emailer does is runs an email thru the first mail action in the
list, starting with the first step in that action. If the criteria is
met, it performs that mail action. If not, it goes to the next step.
Once it performs the action or gets thru to the end and there are no
more steps to compare, it then checks to see if that box is checked.
If it is not, then it moves to the next mail action and repeats. If
it is checked it moves on to the next email to be processed and
starts over.
This is so you can have cascading actions. For instance, I have one
that colors all emails from people in my address book to green. That
way I know the email is from someone I know. However, I don't want
that action to prevent the email from being handled by other mail
actions, such as being placed in a particular folder (such as emails
from the Emailer-Talk list). So I leave the box unchecked on my
address book coloring mail action. That way, regardless of if the
person is in my address book, the email will still get processed by
other mail actions.
But like you have found, sometimes it is desirable to not pass an
email thru other mail actions once a particular action is taken. So
for those cases, Emailer lets you check that box and it will cease
performing additional mail actions if an email is acted on by the
action in question.
