Hi Marck, Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have the filter in 'read messages' and the source folder is the 'junk mail' folder within this account. (I have been testing the filter on previously received junk that I have moved back to the inbox and re-marked as junk [and read]) There are some check boxes I don't understand in the 'options' tab of the sorting office... like "Check the selected message against this rule" and "Regular expressions", both of which are unchecked.

Well I have a sorting office for common folders into which I pasted the filter I listed in my last post, and it worked i.e. it caught the selected message from my common junk folder, wrote it to the 'export.txt' file, and then moved the original message to my common trash folder. And it did it on a hotkey : ) Is this unexpected? As I said I just can't get it to create a message. Just been playing with filter settings to try to get it to work and no joy. Here is the latest copy of the filter from the /account/ sorting office: BeginFilter Name: Submit spam to SpamCop Active: 1 Source: \\<accountname>\$JUNK$ Target: \\<accountname>\Trash CopyFolder: \\\\none MainSet: 40.
