[MlMt] Still confused about rules

[Henry Seiden]

Randy,

**Suggestions**:
* Perhaps you need to troubleshoot it by (temporarily) moving the 
sub-mailbox to a regular smart mailbox and see if it makes a difference 
to your actions.I don’t use sub-mailboxes in my rules. Could be some 
limitations there.
* Another possibility, there is a default in the action setting to 
adjust the action occurrence in the rule, limiting it to the start of a 
day. Perhaps this is your issue in the cascading rules process?

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
