Hotmail Inbox Issue

[Dr Q]

Hi all,

I apologize if starting a new post was the wrong thing to do but my
issue seems to be a bit different than the other posts I have seen on
this same topic.

So the basic issue is that some of my messages from my Hotmail Inbox
are being moved to my local folder inbox but it seems to be a very
select few.

Basic setup: Entourage 11.3.6 on OS 10.4.9
4 accounts: GMail (POP) as main/default, exchange account, AOL (IMAP),
Hotmail

The issue: I have noticed two instances where the item from the
hotmail folder was moved to my local inbox.

Instance #1: I received an email with both my hotmail and GMail
addresses as recipients and found I had two identical messages in my
local inbox. One was the GMail address, the other was the hotmail
address.

Instance #2: I wanted to have access via to a Powerpoint file in case
something happens to my flash drive. So I sent my self an email in
Entourage using my GMail account as my sender address and my Hotmail
as my recipient. Initially the message appeared in the hotmail inbox.
However when I replied to it (so the conversation would be readily
accesible via the GMail web interface) and it was recieved in
Entourage, the message from the hotmail inbox was moved to the local
inbox.

Prior to these two instances, I had not seen this behavior at all. The
only the other piece of information I can offer is that both of these
instances occurred after my account had been upgraded to the new Live
version of Hotmail.

I should point out that I have been using Outlook and Entourage to
access my FREE hotmail account for many years because my account was
grandfathered into their current policy of prohibiting access to the
free accounts.

So my question is really how do I stop this behavior from repeating in
the future? Or do I just grin and bear it?

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

No apology needed - starting new topics is fine. In fact, it's preferred, if
what you want to discuss doesn't follow on from a previous thread.

Moving messages is caused by either a mail rule or, more likely, a Mailing
List Manager entry that has accidentally been created. See this blog post

Thanks for the suggestions but I checked both rules and mailing list
manager before posting ( and double checked before this reply) and I
had no rules in effect in any of the panes. I did have one mailing
list manager item and it was one I intentionally set up and is for a
specific sender's address and only applies to my GMail account. The
messages that were moved did not meet the criteria for the list manage

Also as I tried to explain it has only happened twice and as far as I
can tell the only common trait is that both messages that were moved
were included my Gmail and hotmail accounts as recipients.
