I have a pack of rules, which are intended for automatically marking as read & deleting messages when some criteria is met. They work fine when applied manually, but sometimes they are not applied automatically when new messages are received and I have to run them manually. And as I wrote, all rules are active. Is it possible to fix this behavior?

upd.: All rules that I have are simple and not using AppleScript or anything similar.
Short of getting a different mail client on your iPad I can get you more than half of the way there.
Set up gmail as Microsoft Exchange server (leave the domain blank, add user and password and let it try to connect. When it fails, use m.google.com for the server and you can choose mail, calendar, address data to use ActiveSync)
Once the first mail sync starts, you can then choose days to sync and which subfolders will have push enabled. The mail badge count still only reflects unread messages in the Inbox, but you will get the mail notification sound/vibration for any new push message arriving in your selected subfolders. Your iOS device will be ready to go when you tap into the folders that have new push messages.
Apple Mail rules run automatically only the first time they're set. After that rules will only run manually.
Going into Preferences and unchecking 'Active' will deactivate the rule and will never run it.

What i did was to delete all the rules. Quit Mail. Restart mail. Create and apply rules again.
Alternatively, you can right click on a particular email, and choose apply rules (if there are rules already configured, of course).
