SYMPTOMS
========
If the delivery location is set to a personal folder(PST)inbox and a single
message matches the criteria for two or more different rules that move the mail
to the same PST folder; the MOVETO action will create a duplicate of the message
in the PST folder being moved to.
WORKAROUND
==========
Set the delivery location to the server store inbox. Only one copy of a message
will be moved regardless of how many rules point it to the same folder.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Inconsistent results are achieved depending on the location of the MOVETO folder
and the default delivery location of inbound mail. If the MOVETO action is for a
server store folder, one copy of the message will be moved. If the MOVETO action
is to a local PST store folder, two copies of the message will be moved. This
only happens when initial delivery is set to a PST inbox. If the delivery
location is set to the server store inbox, only one copy of a message will be
moved regardless of how many rules point it to the same folder.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 4.0 of Microsoft
Exchange. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
