Rules debug
 

Is it possible to do a kind of "debug" of rule, to see why it is not working
?
Outlook 2002-SP3
Win/XP PRO Sp2

Thanks to all

Rules debug
 

You can change the action to flag the message or more it to a folder that is
empty to see what the conditions apply to (use Run Now). Using an empty
folder allows you to easily move messages back to the original folder to
retest. Once you are sure it works as expected, change the action.

Test each rule individually and use Stop processing action if two or more
rules apply to a message.

Rules debug
 

Many rules that I have found that fail are due to placement in the list
and/or not stop previous rule processing interfering with the rule.

If the failure is due to placement, it may be already processed by a
previous rule which negates the rule that seems to be not working.

Try Move Up/Down and see what that does.

It's difficult to help without knowing how the rule is failing.
