SYMPTOMS
If you have several Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) accounts in your profile and you have a rule for each account to move a copy of all mail that is sent through each account to a folder in the IMAP store, only the rules for the default account run.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Save Your Message Before You Send It
If you save your message before you send it, the rule that you created runs as expected.

Method 2: Modify the Rule
You can modify the rule so that it sends the message to the default account's folder, instead of to a folder for the secondary account. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Rules and Alerts.
 * 2) Under Rule description, click the folder name in Move a copy to the   folder.
 * 3) Select a folder from the default IMAP account, and then click OK.
 * 4) Click Apply, and then click OK.

Method 3: Create a New Rule
Create a new rule so that the messages are forwarded to a folder in the default account. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Rules and Alerts.
 * 2) Click New Rule, click Start from a blank rule, and then click Next.
 * 3) Click Check message after sending, and then click Next.
 * 4) Click to select the through the specified account check box.
 * 5) Click specified, select the secondary IMAP account, click OK, and then click Next.
