Outlook 2007 Rules can't/won't run

[John]

Am running 2007 SP2. Have several rules. All say that when messages recv'd
from certain sources, move messages to particular folders. All rules are
turned 'on' yet when new messages appear, none are redirected to the
appropriate folders. The messages just stay in the inbox. Does anyone have
any ideas? Thank you

If you were to post the exact text of the rules and a sample of a message that
you think should be processed (masking any real mail addresses, of course), we
may be able to explain it.
