Hi David,
I succeeded in creating my rule but when I got back to the message filter page the run now button is not their where would it have gone?
Re: [JAWS-Users] creating a rule
perhaps your forgetting a step pertaining to the filter criteria.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] creating a rule

I get to the last step and when I press the okay button an alert comes
up but all it has on it is alert okay or cancel I press okay on it and
it takes me back to the okay button for my rule and when I press it
again the same thing happens.
I do not know what I am doing wrong?

are you sure you read the page properly?

Organize Your Messages by Using Filters
Table of Contents

.  To create a new filter:
.  Example filters


.  Add a star
.  Move to a folder



Message filters allow you to set up Thunderbird to organize your messages
automatically. Filters can move messages to folders, delete them, forward
them
to other email addresses, and more.

To create a new filter:

1. In the Menu Bar, click Tools, then click Message Filters.

2. Click New. A Filter Rules dialog box will appear.

3. In the "Filter Name" field, type a name for your filter.

4. Under "Apply filter when", check one of the options or both.

NOTE: In most cases, you won't want to change from the default "Getting New
Mail" and "Manually Run" options.

5. In the "Getting New Mail: " dropdown menu, choose either Filter before
Junk Classification or Filter after Junk Classification.

6. Choose a property, a test and a value for each rule you want to apply:

list of 3 items
.  A property is a message element or characteristic such as "Subject" or
"From"
.  A test is a check on the property, such as "contains" or "is in my
address book"
.  A value completes the test with a specific detail, such as an email
address or keyword
list end

7. Choose one or more actions for messages that meet those criteria.

Elements of a new Filter Rules dialog-updated

NOTE: To add another rule, click Add a new rule + at the end of the last
rule. To delete a rule, click Remove this rule -.

8. Click OK.

9. In the Message Filters dialog, click Run Now if you want the new filter
to be applied to messages you've already received. The filter will
automatically
be applied to all new messages after it's saved.
