I can confirm that is is by design. I complained about this once and got a very direct answer from a MS developer. MLM rules, for POP or IMAP, are applied ONLY the very first time a new message is received. If you want to test an altered MLM rule on a message, you will need to drag it to the desktop, and then drag it back into the Inbox, where it becomes an actual new incoming message. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://members.thinkaccess.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
