I tried the above steps, but when I right-click on an email, I do not have an "Advanced" menu item.

Why in the world have you ruined a good thing? I've tried repeatedly to follow you instructions and absolutely none of those suggestions appear. Is the current crop of developers at MS trying to have us move to a MAC? It sure seems like it...

Hello,

I have the same problem. Please fix the rules for IMAP-accounts.
