Outlook 2002 Rules inconsistent?

I have a couple of simple email rules to direct incoming mail to a folder, but it just won't work consistently. Some of the emails get put where they're supposed to be, and others don't. So I click on Tools, Rules, and Run Now, then those emails get put in the right place.

Why won't it work right every time and put those messages in the proper folder?
 
Probably the order of the rules is the issue. The rules higher up in your order may be conflicting or may be stopping the execution of lower order rules.

You may want to try reordering your rules. joegz
