SYMPTOMS
If two Microsoft Exchange Inbox Assistant rules move a single message to two different folders, the incorrect message may get deleted. This happens when only one of the rules has an Alert action chosen to notify the user.



MORE INFORMATION
This happens when two rules exist that move a message to different folders and the first rule includes an alert action. If you read and delete the message from within the alert box, the message will be deleted from the folder that the second rule copied it to.

To avoid this, change the order of the rules so the rule that includes the alert action is at the end of the list.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients for Windows, version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Service Pack.
