The sorting office works the following way: a new message is
tested if it matches any of the criteria in the subsequent rules.
If a match is found, the action of that rule is executed, *the
comparison aborts and continues with the next message*. That is
the point where 'continue processing ...' jumps in.
There might be a situation where you want to perform several
actions on one message. Let's say, you want all your business
mails in the colour group 'business' and you want to sort them
according to their content into the folders 'support product A'
and 'support product B' (sorry, couldn't find a better example).
You can now create a filter that only marks your business mails
with the colour group. Activate 'continue processing ...' for
that rule. Below this one, you create two rules to sort these
mails into the correct folders. This can only work if the
processing is not stopped after the colour group rule.
Of course, you can also achieve the same thing in only two rules
if you apply the colour group in the sorting rules, but it's only
an example, it was not built to make any sense :-) I hope I made
myself clear.
