Duplicate messages with two rules

by rajiv719 . Updated 23 years, 9 months ago

I have crteated two rules in OL 2000. The first one moves the message sent to one of my pop account to a folder(say X). The second rule send a message to the same folder X if the subject contains a string (“rmiug” is the string).
The problem is:When I get a message that matches both the rules(i.e a message sent to my POP account and has string ‘rmiug’ in subject line), I get two copies of it in my folder X.

If one of the rule is deactivated, I dont get duplicate messages (of course onlythe active rule conditions apply) but when both of them are active, I get two copies.

I have checked that I am NOT using ‘move a copy’. Also, the order of rules doesn’t make a difference. Also, if I create a third rule which says that move the message to this folder ‘X’ when subject line contains a subset of the string ‘rmiug’ (just to make a different rule that also matches at the same time), I get THREE messages in my folder ‘X’. Unlike outlook express 97, I dont think OL2000 allows to create ‘OR’ conditions in the same rule.

Any help?
