Thanks for your help, Paul. It's a shame that this isn't so easy to
accomplish. However, on the bright side Dan has written it up as a request
:)
Is there any way to get a script to run rules on a message? Either directly
or via schedule? If so, I can accomplish what I want by changing the
selection criteria on the first rule to read:
<execute actions if ALL criteria are met>
<any recipient> contains <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Account is not <mac.com>
Actions:
<execute script> - to reset account to mac.com AND re-run rules
So, on the first run this rule will catch the message and the script will
reset the account and re-run the rules. On the second pass through the rules
this rule will NOT catch the message since the second criteria fails, and
any other applicable rules can kick in.
