I have several rules to process incoming mails in a given order. The
processing order is not working properly.

Just for information:
First two rules to flag messages with different colors
Third rule to delete Spam following a private rule
Fourth rule to move mailing list messages
Fifth rule to separate messages from a second mailserver

Often a rule is applied, but other rules coming in the order before are not
applied.
In example: Fifth rule is processed, but fourth rule ignored. Or third rule
processed and first rule ignored.

The order is mostly working fine, but for some messages (maybe 20 %) it is
not followed.
If executing a rule manually it works fine, so there is no error within the
rules.

The client I use is Outlook 2003, working with Exchange 2000 and two other
POP3-Servers.

Any ideas?
