When I moved to Entourage 2001 from Entourage X, many of my rules stopped working. I figured it was a problem with the transfer, so I deleted them and recreated them. That didn't help, so I thought maybe I had too many (about 20) so I deleted all rules (including MLM), and added a single rule - " If XXX is in subject, move to folder YYY" - and it still failed. I even rebuilt the database several times, threw out preferences, etc. with no change. Most of my rules work most of the time, some of my rules work some of the time. My rules always work if applied manually, so every so often I will select the messages in the inbox and choose "apply all rules" from the menu. The Mailing List Rules I had been using in Entourage X had even less of a success rate than custom rules, so I stopped using them in favor of rules for certain mailing lists. I haven't found a fix. I hope that the suggestions in Diane's message work for you, but none of the things she mentioned helped in my case. -Barbara -- 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/>
