<p dir="auto" style="margin: 1.12em 0;">I recently created a rule that permanently deletes all messages older than seven days that is in the Junk folder older. While I can manually run the rule to delete the messages, it will not run automatically.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="margin: 1.12em 0;">Here is a screen shot of the rule.</p>

<p dir="auto" style="margin: 1.12em 0;">I have two rules for the Junk folder. This rule is listed after another rule that marks-as-read messages flagged as spam, which runs automatically without issue.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="margin: 1.12em 0;"><img src="cid:0CF91A19-12D3-4BDD-A952-6ACDAB339BF0@outlook.com" width="209" alt="" title="Screenshot 2024-09-28 at 7.37.35 PM.png" style="width: 100%; max-width: 209px;"></p>
<p dir="auto" style="margin: 1.12em 0;">Why is this rule running automatically? Are there any setings I might have missed that prevent automatic execution?</p>
