I have about 15 filters I use to move incoming mail to different folders in my inbox. Most of them work fine.

2 of them leave a copy of the email in the inbox folder and make a copy of the same email in the correct folder. I have tried deleting and recreating the filters but get the same result. I have looked at filters that run correctly and compared them to the incorrect ones but can't find a difference.

Thanks

 
Post the 2 rules that leave a copy in Inbox. Also, post one that works correctly (moves to specified folder and no copy to Inbox.)

One that works:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
sender is in the 'Hockey' Addresss Book
move it to the 'Hockey' folder

This one doesn't
Apply this rule after the message arrives
sender is in the 'Vegas' Addresss Book
move it to the 'Hockey' folder

There are no other rules in either filter

Thanks
 
Not sure. And you're sure (not trying to offend) it says "move it to the 'Hockey' folder"
and not "move a copy to the 'Hockey' folder"?
 
My post was correct. It says "move it to the hockey folder".

No offense taken. I make "enhanced errors" all the time.

Thanks
