Please log in for more thread options Well, I figured out why I'm not getting any messages with sorting rules
applied. Once the rule is applied and they're moved, Pocket Outlook can't
receive them. I thought that maybe I would still get them in the Inbox
unsorted, because all of my rules are client-side (display desktop alerts). I
thought maybe Exchange would forward before the rule got applied. So as it is
now, I can only get messages on my phone when my Outlook is closed. Now I
guess I have to decide whether I'd rather have the rules for sorting
messages, or use Search Folders instead. Search folders are ok, but not as
good as rules that auto-sort.
