Jerry,

My 2007 experience is that message rules cannot be applied to HTTP accounts
and have to be applied manually to POP accounts.

It is a POP3 account.

how does the rule read?

I assume you mean this located in the Rule description text box?

"Apply this rule after the message arrives from assign it to the z
category"

Like I said, if I run the rule manually it works perfectly.

I have Outlook 2007. I have setup a rule to categorize my mail when it
arrives in the Inbox. Inexplicably this fails. It fails in spite of the
fact that if I run the rule manually it works perfectly. I have the rule
set with the highest priority. Does anyone know why this fails?
