A very nasty bit of flu (no, not that one...) has stopped me from looking at this until now. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem. I've set up the pseudo server with a similar set of messages (i.e. one very large one to be deferred by length on the first rule, followed by some smaller ones that trigger different rules), but it all works as expected. There must be some particular combination of settings involved. If it happens again, could you send me (off list) a zip containing a copy of: - your Rules file; - your Settings file; - your mailbox log file; - the IDs file as it is before manually changing things in the Marking window; - the headers of the messages involved. All as complete as possible, but without any sensitive info, like user names and passwords. > The DEFER rule is in fact Rule 1 in my Rules file.

When there are any messages to handle in the Marking window, all rules move up by one and 'Process Marked Message' becomes rule 1. Regards, Frank
