The custom rules also run in the order they are listed. (top runs first). Knowing this, if your rule is at the top of the custom rules listl, then you need to look at the Mailing List Manager rules to see what is there that is trumping your rule. Tip: Try to use categories instead of individual addresses when possible. When an address is added assign a category then it will automatically be acted on by the rule. 1) POP Rules act on a message ONLY when it first arrives in the Inbox (On My Computer), NOT when it arrives in any other folder. Once it's moved to another folder it won't be seen by rules. 2) IMAP Rules are meant to act on a message ONLY when it first arrives in the IMAP INBOX, not when moved to another IMAP folder. 3) Exchange Rules act on a message ONLY when it first arrives in the Exchange Inbox.
