    I have had endless troubles with the Rules, with duplicate emails
    appearing, and with the Rules sending incoming mail to the wrong
    folders.
    The Copilot has advised "flushing" the MS mail server by a sequence of
    actions, all very hard to understand.
    However I have adjusted my Rules to apply just locally, and not from
    the MS system, i.e. making ALL the Rules "client only" with a sound
    added, and this seems to have worked. Additionally I have unticked
    the "stop processing more rules" in ALL the Rules.
    It's early days, but so far so good.

    I gave up on it for email more than a decade ago now

    I use yahoo, gmail and apple's apps on the phone
