I have one additional step to add to the steps for adding a new mail rule that I found very helpful. I found it on an OE advice website. I was having a lot of trouble since I have quite a few rules set up and things were ending up in weird folders. This really helped. After the following step in the list below 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.
Addition to this step: Use the arrow key to move down the list and also press space bar on "Stop processing rules". This causes Oe to put the particular email immediately into the named folder and not to continue down the list of rules looking for others that might apply. Then go and follow the steps that were given before. I also make sure these are near the top of the list so that they will be processed first. If you only have one or two rules this might not be necessary but I have 15 rules so far so it really helps.

Hi Rich, First open each of your Jaws folders and move the messages into your In Box. After all of your messages are in your In Box highlight each folder and delete it except for one. This is the folder you are going to import your messages into. I have tweaked Making Message Rules a little bit so try following the steps the way they are below. If you still can't get it done and you are in the U.S. or Canada I may be able to help you over the phone. I hope these steps will get you over the hump though. Take care.
