Dear Diane, Thank you for your help. Unfortunately it is not really feasible for me to take the IMAP route; fortunately, I have a fast connection and a fast processor. Which brings us back to the problem. Since the rules run last, I'm guessing that means it isn't possible for JMF to run on the accounts I use rules to file in a different folder, right? So if that's true, here's the next question: is it possible to use the mailing list manager to move everything that comes to a particular email address into a particular folder, and then have the JMF run on it? That would solve the problem, if it works. I very much appreciate your help.
