Hello Thomas, thanks for your wonderful description I have understood it better this time. I have decided to start from scratch by deleting everything rule mailbox etc. I have created it again but have told it to don't apply message rule to the given box. Fingers crossed in hoping it will work. When you say something buggy, do you mean with my system or with mail its self. I thought I red somewhere that one can delete a preference file with an extension of .con or something like. I was just wondering Would this have anything to do with it. Just another idea. I don't know where the mail preference file is located but I won't touch anything unless someone advises the idea.
