Thanks for turning me on to the entourage.mvps website. From that, I learned "Actions which Move messages or run AppleScripts cannot be followed by other rules." I had a previously established rule using an Applescript (from Spam Sieve) to mark spam. I moved that to the bottom of the list and the other rules work great now. You readers all probably know about that Entourage site, but if you don't, here the link: http://www.entourage.mvps.org. Click on the table of contents and you'll find it amazingly useful.

Subject: Re: Color coding email accounts
Did you create all three rules? They should be like this, in order:
Rule 1
* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF Account is Account 1
THEN Set Category New Category 1
Rule 2
* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF Account is Account 2
THEN Set Category New Category 2
Rule 3
* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF Account is Account 3
THEN Set Category New Category 3
They should all be under the "Mail (POP)" tab and should all be enabled. If you're still having trouble, you can find some more troubleshooting tips for rules here:

Hello Paul
Using Ent. X
I followed your instructions: Set up 3 new categories and gave them colors. Created rule just like you instructed. Emails are not coming in colored. What am I missing? Thanks.

I have three email addresses (and accounts in Entourage). Since emails for all three come into my inbox together, is there any way to have them color coded? Thanks.
With a Rule. First, in Edit/Categories/Edit Categories make three new categories with names the same as your 3 accounts or email addresses. Give them whatever colors you want,
If
Account is <Account 1>
Action
Set category to <Email 1>
And the same for the other two.
