This is what you can do. Go to tools/rules and alerts. Shift tab till you land on "control listbox" field where you rules list is and choose a rule, then tab to "change rule button menu" and press down arrow. Be sure that "move to folder is checked" and "copy to folder" is not. Remember, this is a menu, so you activate and diactivate options with enter, not with space. When you press enter to activate move to folder, a dialogue simular to the one in OE will show to let you choose the folder you want you messages to be moved. Choos it acordingly to your rule. When you do and press ok button, you're back on "change rule menu button". This time you can press up arroe and you'll land on "rule settings" option, just press enter. Press enter till you hear "finish rule setup, step one.". Tab till you reach "Turn on this rule" and check it if it's not checked and press enter again. Again you're on the "change rule menu button". Tab till you reach "control listbox" field and choose the next rule in the list and do the same for every rule in this list. HTH Negoslav
