Allen, The quickest way I know is to setup a temporary filter based on a common character string. But the only way it will work is if you can isolate that character string that is unique to only the messages you want to move.
For example: If the subject line on each of these messages all have "Happy Dan and the magic fan" then you can setup a filter in the message rules and apply it to that folder. You can apply the message rule once, and then you can delete it, or leave in place so that all subsequent emails with the same string in the subject line will go to wherever it is you are wanting these messages to go. 1. Go to the Tools menu by pressing alt-T and scroll down to Message Rules. Hit enter. 2. A submenu will pop up, hit enter on the option that says "Mail." 3. Tab to the option that says "New" and hit enter. 4. Scroll down till you hear the option that says "Where the subject line contains specific words" and press the spacebar to check it. 5. Tab once and scroll till you hear "Move it to the specified folder", and I believe this is usually the first option, so you may not need to scroll at all. Press the spacebar to check it. 6. Now, it gets a little tricky. Route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor and you will need to find the text generated by the first rule you check which will say "Where the subject line contain specific words." Left click on the "specific". This will drop you into an edit field where you can enter the unique character string you want to use as the criteria for moving the message to the folder you want. Tab to Add, hit enter, tab to okay and hit enter again. This should drop you off in the message rules definition screen where you were before. 7. Rout the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor again and look for the text generated by the second condition that you checked with said "Move it to the specified folder." Left click on the word "specified." This will drop you into a list of folders that you can scroll through to find the folder you want your messages to. Hit enter and it will drop you back to the screen where you tabbed to the option "New." Keep tabbing till you find "apply" and hit enter. 8. This will drop you into a screen that will allow you to select which folder you want to apply the filter to, the default is "In-Box." Just follow the prompts, click "OK" and Pouf! That should do it. I may have missed of couple of points like naming the rule, but I think you'll be able to figure it out. If not, let me know and I'm glad to help either by email or phone. * In His Abiding Presence, Jay Pilkington "You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
