[dba-Tech] Outlook Express

It's because it processes the rules in order. Unless you tell it not to
process any other rules, it'll move it to the Cappex folder, and then move
it to the Rocky folder. You'll probably find that anything you send to her
will end up in the Cappex folder now.

That done it!  Don't know why, though.  Don't care, actually. :)  Problem
solved.

Thanks Lembit

Rocky,
try to put the Rocky-folder rule before the Cappex one. I had a similar
problem recently and changing the sequence of rules solved it.
