Hi,
Listed below are some instructions for creating a mail rule in OE5 offered
by Olga Espinola. I found them very helpful. Hope they help you.
What I discoverd about step 3 of the message rules is this:
First, it seems that you have to press spacebar on the ones in steps 1 and 2
that you want. Then when you tab to the 3rd step, do this:
Right arrow to see the list of selected criteria and actions.
Down arrow to one of them and press Enter.
Now you can do something with it. For example, if it is the one that says,
where the subject line contains people, once you press Enter on that choice,
you can go to your address book and add a name from there.
Once you've chosen what to add, go to ok and press Enter.
Hope this helps.

Subject: creating a mail filter in oe5
> Hi,
>
> Today I tried to set up a mail filter in Outlook Express 5. To my big
surprise the dialog that enables you to set up filter rules that will sort
mails by a specific creteria and pperform an action on the mail is very much
different from oe4. In oe4 the add new rule dialog was made up of many check
boxes and a few buttons. The dialog with the same function in oe5 is made up
by only 4 controls, 2 list boxes and 2 edit fields. In the 2 list boxes you
can decide the creteria for the rule and the action that will result when a
mail matches the creteria. I have tried to celect a creteria and an action
but my celections are not recognized by oe5. When I press ok I get a dialog
saying that I must celect a creteria and an action. Have I overlooked
something here? or has MS just like so many times before created another
inaccessable part of a MS application?
