How to use Entourage Rules with IMAP accounts

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am totally confused on how to use Rules on IMAP accounts in
Entourage.

I have two IMAP accounts and one POP account configured on Entourage,
I have several rules configured and working properly mainly to copy or
move incoming messages into specific folders. However, when I try to
configure rules to move outgoing messages it all goes very wrong when
working with the IMAP accounts. I raised another topic on this subject
some weeks ago and had some response. but unfortunately nothing that
helped. Since then I have doe some further investiagtion and have
found the follwoing:-

If I send a message from the IMPA account and set up a rule to copy or
move the outgoing message to a specific folder on my computer, the
rule fails,(the message is sent OK) however another rule set up under
IMAP to monitor incoming mail on the same IMAP account is triggered
and the OUTGOING IMAP Message is placed in another folder set up to
hold INCOMING Messages.

How does IMAP work? how are my IMAP rules being triggered by an
outgoing message.

I am assuming that when you set up the rules under the heading POP,
IMAP these are the incomming rules? and all OUTGOING rules are set up
under the heading OUTGOING?

As an expieriment i tried to set up a rule under IMAP to detect my
outgoing IMAP message adn then move it to the specific folder and it
also failed.

At this stage any help would be appreciated

Thanks

John
