Hi Yvonne

Try the following steps & see if they help.

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 a 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 / 6, 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 backspace key to remove/delete (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.



Hope this helps.  Take care.

Mike
