I worked out some directions for a friend for creating filters in Outlook
Express 5.  I warn you though that this is a lot more involved than it was
in OE 4.  It took me quite awhile to get this down, but you can do it if you
are patient and persistent.

Here are the directions that I set up for my friend to follow and I am
including them just as I wrote them out that time.

I hope this will help and maybe someone else has found a better method for
doing this than I have.  Good luck!

Okay, we are going to go through this step by step to set up a filter for my
messages.  There are some variable things you can do, but if you follow this
it should work.

Create a folder with my name on it first if you do not have one already.


Alt-t to tools
Down arrow to Message Rules
Right arrow to "mail."
Enter
Tab to "New"
Enter
Press spacebar to select "where from contains people"
Tab to step 2 for action
Select "move to specified folder"
Tab twice to go to step 4 to edit the name of your rule.  You can give it a
name so type in "crystal"
Tab five times to return to Step 3
Down arrow once and should hear "contains people"
Press enter
Tab twice to "Address."
Enter
Tab three times to address list
Find my name in the list and select it
Press enter
Tab five times to okay and press enter
Tab twice to okay and press enter
You should hear an error message about incomplete information
Press enter
Tab four times to return to step 3
Down arrow and you should hear my address
Down arrow and you should hear "specified"
Press enter
You should hear "local folders closed"
Right arrow to open the folders list
Select the folder you want
Tab once to okay and enter
You are back to the opening dialog box.  You can use Jaws cursor to verify
your rule if you want, but be sure to tab to okay and enter to save the rule
when you are finished.

You do not have to edit the name of the rule if you do nto want to and want
to skip that step, but if you plan to have several rules it might be a good
idea to give them names.  You can go back later and use the modify button to
give a rule a name if you like.

I have tried to give you exact directions here, so hope it works!
