Entourage gives errors on rules that dont exist

A

For some reason Entourage keeps complaining about a rule and a location for a
folder and this rule does not exist. I followed other instructions in a
similar forum to remove the rules file and try to re-create, etc... But even
with no rules, for some reason I keep getting rule errors that pop up!

Thoughts, ideas? I tried to do a advanced search on the client looking for
the rule and I get nothing. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

A little more info, the Error is:
While processing message "Re: wow this is fum" (ID 32240), the mailing list
rule "rule 12" could not be successfully executed.

Explanation: The message could not be filed because the destination folder
cannot be found.

Again, there is no rule tied to any folders.

rule "rule 12" could not be successfully executed.

There are 3 different kind of rules in Entourage:

Mailing List Manager (MLM)
Junk Mail Filter
Rules (custom rules you create)

They run in the order listed above. The custom rules also run in the order
they are listed. (top runs first)

I suspect you only looked in Rules and not in the Mailing List Manager.

That was it! THANKS!
