Just for the heck of it try the first rule and see if that helps. I have a rule that marks mail from me with "my" category. When I scan my junk folder for good mail, I see several junk messages from me. Try this rule and see: >From is in category me Set category me Obviously, you need to set your contact as category 'me'. > > And, as noted in my original post in this thread, Entourage is even marking > messages in my Sent Items folder as Junk. This makes no sense at all. I just checked my sent folder and found one message marked as junk. The person I was sending a reply to wasn't in my Address Book and originally came in as junk mail. I selected "this is not junk" and it removed the junk status but didn't offer to add contact to my Address Book. This seems like a bug or an unusual "feature". :-) -- Diane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
