RE: [newbie] Think its time for farewell
Jennifer, my most sincere thanks to you for that solution as it worked. I seem to have missed implementing the last couple of steps, namely to check to turn on rule before clicking finish. In the meantime I have in excess of 100 messages in my inbox to move to approriate folder. Up till now I have been spending between 30 to 45 mins per day relocating them. I guess with your help I can afford the time to stick around.

[newbie] Think its time for farewell
Hello, I really hope you don't mind me asking a windoz question. You see, I have still not managed to install Mandrake. Until I do I would like to continue receiving mail from this list for future reference. However since the average daily mail from this list tends to range between 50 to 80. I simply do not have time sift through all. For this reason I would like to create a rule in Outlook to move specific mail by subject to designated folders in my inbox. I very thank you in advance for your co-operation. Here is the description of the problem. I have recently gone over the MS Technet pages Hi guys, been hoping some of you might be kind enough to help me filter the massive amount of mail I get from this listing using the Outlook Rules wizard. I guess assistance with MS is a repugnant idea to most. I have not managed to get help to install my Mandrake 8 either. I guess as a total newbie I need to seek support locally and come back as with more intermidiate skills. Farewell for now Siavash http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q196212 and applied rules as instructions but the rules do not seem to be working. I am trying to create rules to tell Outlook to put messages with specific words in content of message, body or subject field, to be moved in specially designated folders. I select TOOLS, RULES WIZARD, NEW, then I select "Move messages based on content", finally I insert the relevant content/words to base the relocation along with specifiying which folder to move it in. However I find each time I download mail they still pile up in Inbox rather than moving them to the specified folder locations. I even tried the "RUN NOW" button which displayed the copy dialog box, but I still find that messages do not move to specified folders on each download. Can you throw some light on this? Is this a ISP server configuration issue? I am using Windoz 2000 Professional with Outlook 2000 installed from Office 2000. Sincererly S.S. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
