Ok I repeated the steps and
got the same results. I get all the way through it and it ask me if I want
to apply now I do this and after it says one hundred percent I escape out of
the message rule window. I go back to see if my rule is there and it
automatically opens me up in a window to create new mail. I escape out of
that window or press cancel and I tab around there and it says zero results
where I thought my previous rule I created should be. If this is not where
my rule should be can you tell me how to verify that the rule is
there?Thanks

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
