MS Outlook Message Rules

[cbs604]

I have recently moved from using OE to MSO. I have found the message rules that use the "or" operator only acts on the first item.

eg my rule is:
with "A" or "B" or "C" in the senders address
move it to "X"
and stop processing more rules.

This rule only acts on the first item ("A&quot and ignores the rest. I have tried re-arranging the A B and C, but it is always the first item.

Where am I going wrong?

Have you tried to split A, B or C into 3 different rules instead of 1?

OK, I sort of answered my own question.

It turns out the rule only acts on the ACTUAL email address and not the associated friendly name. It was pure coincidence when I was swapping the order around, the first item had a match both in the name field and the email address field.

My Q now is: Why does the message rule only act on the address and not the name as well?
