Change the Order in Which Rules are Applied to Messages

It's your Inbox, and you should be able to arrange it any way you choose, right? So why not decide which mail rules will run first? Happily, it's easy to change the order in which rules are applied.
From the Inbox, click Tools, Rules Wizard. In the Apply Rules In The Following Order box, click the rule you want to move. Click Move Up to move it up in the list, or Move Down to send it lower. Then, click OK.
