For what it's worth, some time ago my "move to folder" rules stopped
working. I place the command in the correct spot -- at the bottom, and all
the other rules affecting that mail work. The messages simply don't move
into the appropriate folder when it's all done.
I've tinkered with Entourage rules for a long, long time and read a lot
about them and have come to the conclusion that I'm doing nothing wrong.
It's simply inexplicable, and so I chalk it up to an imperfection in
Entourage, or a problem with the interface between Entourage and my
operating system and/or other programs.
