Hi Gary, I have never used Windows Mail and so I couldn't say one way or the other if the OE message rules would work in Windows Mail or not. Sorry. Take care.

Do these steps work pretty much the same way in Windows Mail? I use Outlook, but I know someone who is having a hard time setting up folder rules in Windows Mail. Thanks for the tips, Mike.
