Hi david,
Here is a list of steps to follow as well. Take care.
Making Message Rules
Making Folder Rules in OE
OE 5-6 Message Rules Setup
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 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 5, 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. You are now in the mail rules page again and you should tab to OK and
hit enter.
> you are now finished.
These steps seem long and tedious, but once you get the hang of them they do
go by rather quickly

.
Removing or Modifying Message Rules
if you do the following;
1. alt+t=tools;
2. R=message rules/mail,enter;
3. now, you can arrow down, to see if there is a message rule created,
then? once you highlight the message rule, "BlindAccessHelp" you can tab
over, to modify, press enter. now, you can go through the steps, and see
where you went wrong, or, just advance your way through the create message
filter,/steps, and see if you can't fix the problem.
otherwise? while in the message rules list, once you highlight the
"BAH/message/rule", you could tab to remove, press enter, then, then apply,
and ok, your way out.
then, you could start fresh.
Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Message rules question

though Jaws might read the subject line like a sentence from left to
right, they are actually headings to columns.
For this group, I went into the message rules and in the first section,
you have 12 choices. I chose the 3rd one down. "Where the message body
contains specific words." Then when you have to fill in that field, I
just put,
