mail rules problem

I have three mail rules:

forward

move to trash

mark as read.

The forward rule is not being executed.

Mail forces "move to trash" to be the first rule. I've tried to reorder to make the forward the first rule, but it always reverts back to the above order.

The conditions work.

I'm running the latest versions of everything on MacOSX.

Mail-OTHER, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

macOS Mail rules not working as expected Hi, I have a fairly simple macOS Mac Mail rule. << If "any" of the following conditions are met -subject contains "newsletter" then "Perform the following actions:" -Forward email to xxx -Move to Folder xxx -Mark as read. >> Couple of things happen. The "Move to" part always becomes the first "action" and the "Forward" is not happening. If you replace "Forward" with "Resend" – which I would prefer – it is also not functioning... Try it for yourself if you have two email addresses. How can I get this working?

Mac Mail rules not working Hello, I have set up quite a few rules that have just stopped working. When I went to investigate I noticed that there were quite a few that had disappeared. I have been using rules in my mail for MANY years, so it is not that I do not know how to set them up. It appears that this happened after I upgraded to Catalina a few months ago. I just cannot figure out how to get them to work. I have created new rules (mostly to move messages to a folder and out of my inbox) and it does not Apply rules to current messages to inbox or when they arrive. Any insight or help would be great.
