Rules run when messages are received. There is no need to schedule them. If you have something you want done at a specific time, then you need to create a schedule. Perhaps if you gave us an example of what you wanted, we could help you with your rule. Some background on rules.... There are 3 different kind of rules in Entourage: Mailing List Manager (MLM) Junk Mail Filter Rules (custom rules you create) They run in the order listed above. The custom rules also run in the order they are listed. (top runs first) Use the MLM for all lists. Use rules for the remainder. Try to use categories instead of individual addresses when possible. When a new address is added to a contact in the Address Book then it will automatically be acted on by the rule if you use categories in your rules. See example: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/rules/example/rule002.html> 1) POP Rules act on a message ONLY when it first arrives in the Inbox (On My Computer), NOT when it arrives in any other folder. Once it's moved to another folder it won't be seen by rules. 2) IMAP Rules are meant to act on a message ONLY when it first arrives in the IMAP INBOX, not when moved to another IMAP folder. 3) Exchange Rules act on a message ONLY when it first arrives in the Exchange Inbox.
