I have created a bunch of rules for sorting my mail, for the second time.
Each time I get a series of rules or criteria for one rule my mail all gets sent to some arbitrary folder, even junk mail.
What am I doing wrong?

Can you give an example or a screenshot of a rule? Maybe we can help.

all mail

All mail is going to a subfolder, even junk mail.

Looks ok to me. Is there another rule before that one? That does something else? Rules are executed in order.
Only other thing I can think of is delete com.microsoft.Entourage.plist from your preferences folder.

There are a ton of rules.
All say "all criteria met" then move to a certain folder.
Folders are all different to be moved to (some are the same, but there are lots to choose from).
I am just dumbfounded as to why everything is going into a sub folder.

I fixed my problem

I changed all the rules assoc with the bad sub-folder to go to a new sub-folder. Then deleted the bad sub-folder. all is well.
I just wish I knew why it did what it did.
