Hi Josh & Wayne; These are for Outlook Express and I don't know if they work for Window's Mail. When making a message rule and you choose rule 6, subject contains specific words, what you type in rules 9 thru 11 must be exactly as they appear in the emails you receive. Meaning if there are brackets, spaces, some letters capitalized and some not, the entry has to be exact as the email subject line. For example; [JAWS-Users] is exactly the way it should look when inserting in rules 9 thru 11 if the message rule is for Jaws-Users. Making Message Rules
This particular instance wil automatically tell Outlook Express to place all emails from (what you set up) into your new folder that you made. 1 make sure you have a folder in your OE list of folders called(x) the name of your folder that you want all your emails to go into. Here we go. 2. While in OE, hit alt T to take you to the Tools menu. 3. press r to take you to message rules 4. press the letter M for Mail. 5. Press Tab one time for New and press enter. 6. Arrow down untill you hear where subject line contains specific words and Press the spacebar one time 7. Now tab once to Actions list. You will see or hear"Move it to the specified folder." Again, press the space bar one time. 8. Now tab once until you see or hear Name of the rule. section 3 New mail rule 9. arrow down to (where the subject line contains specific words) 10. press enter 11. type in exactly what is on the subject line of the email 12. tab to add and press spacebar 13. arrow down until you hear the name of the subject line you put in 14. tab to ok press spacebar 15. Down arrow one time to move it to specified folder, press enter 16. Now you will up or down arrow until you hear the name of your folder spoken(to what ever you named your folder in the inbox). 17. Tab over to Ok and hit enter. You will be taken back to the mail rules page. 18. tab to section 4 Press the delete key on (New Mail Rule #1) and then type in the name you want showing in the message rules list. 19. tab to ok press spacebar 20. Tab to Apply Now and hit enter. 21. This step I'm not certain of. You may be able to tab past this and go on to the next step. Another screen here and you should tab to Select all button and press space bar 22. Tab until you see or hear Apply to Folder.... Inbox. Hit enter. 23. You will be given a message that your rules have been applied. Hit enter. 24. Tab to close and press enter 25.

I can set one up and it will move the messages that are currently in my inbox but after that they continue to come to my inbox rather than the folder that has been assigned. I go back into message rules to see about editing the message rule but it says there is no message rule. I know I will be directed to the groups page but I cannot access the page as I do not know my password and when requesting my password I never recieve it. Can someone help me out with either accessing the groups page or setting up the message rule I am forgetting a step or something because initially it works as it should. Thanks for any help offered. I use JAWS 10 shoudl you need this information J.P.
