Hi
Try this:
1. Go to Tools in OE.
2. Arrow to Message Rules, there is a submenu.
3. Select Mail, and press Enter.
4. The first box lists all the possible conditions: pick one that best fits
the mail to be affected. For instance, all mail from this list may be best
described as "Where the To refers to Some People". Press a space bar to
highlight this condition.
5. Tab to the next group of actions: here the action refers to what OE must
do with the mail fitting the condition so chosen. From this, choose one
action, for example "Move to the Folder".
6. Tab to the next field where you get a summary of your choices:
Use your arrow keys to the line that reads the condition: press the Enter
key while the cursor is on this line. An editable field would open where you
must enter an address of people to be addressed. If you are not sure of the
addresses, you can choose to get this info from your address book. Click OK.
Next, arrow to the line that highlights the action: while the cursor is on
this line, press the Enter key as you did with the condition. This time, OE
will open a folder list dialog where you have to pick one folder where those
mails must be moved to. If the folders do not reflect your mood or the way
you want to mirror the subject, you can tab to "NEW..." to create a new
folder, The highlight will be placed on your newly created folder. After
this press OK.
After this step that involves so much, tab to the last field.
7. This step is optional: you are asked to give your rule a name: you can
type in any sensible name that reflects the main content of the mails you
are moving to this folder, for example "Blind computing" for mails from this
list.
Then press OK.
From now on, all mails matching your conditions will be directed to this
folder.
Cheers,
Ishe

Subject: [JAWS-Users] MESSAGE RULES
JAWS Users,
I use O.E. and I am having trouble setting up a message rule that works
all the time. I can set one up and it will move the messages that are
currently in my inbox but after that they continue to come to my inbox
rather than the folder that has been assigned. I go back into message
rules to see about editing the message rule but it says there is no
message rule. I know I will be directed to the groups page but I cannot
access the page as I do not know my password and when requesting my
password I never recieve it. Can someone help me out with either accessing
the groups page or setting up the message rule I am forgetting a step or
something because initially it works as it should. Thanks for any help
offered. I use JAWS 10 shoudl you need this information
