It has been my experience that such problems generally have to do with the "specificity" of the sort criteria and the order in which the mail actions occur. That is, if your mail action sorts on '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and has successfully put correct mail in a 'mcneargl' folder, the action works as expected. However, if you later create another mail action that sorts on 'pro-usa.net' and place it higher in the list, that action will take precedence and the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' action will not be acted upon. This is true, that is, if you have the usual "Stop Mail Actions if Criteria Are Met" box checked. If you do not check this box, you usually end up with multiple copies of the message in various folders. Just my guess.
