Greetings,

Does anyone know what this this "tool" icon means in the email rules Actions
column?

It means the rule has stop processing enabled.

What is "stop processing"? Why is it enabled on only some rules?

Thanks,
Shane.

Stop processing tells the rules to stop running on the current message if
the rule applies to the message and to move on to the next message in the
queue. If its not enabled and a message meets the conditions of 3 rules,
all 3 rules will be used. If stop processing is enabled, only the first rule
will be applied to the message.

Stop processing is enabled on some conditions by default.

for example you have 3 rules:
move mail from john to john folder
move mail with Hello in the subject to hello folder
move mail cc'd to me to CC folder

You are CC'd on a message from John with the subject Hello. The message is
copied to each of the folders because the rules all apply to the message.
But if stop processing is set on the first rule, the message is moved to the
john folder only and rules processing on that message ends.
