thanks, for some reason when I go to my message rules it takes me straight
into the new rule page. After completing your steps I went back to attempt
to see my message rule but when I got down to name the rule it still says
new rule 1 and nothing underneath it. For one reason or another the rule is
not taking.

Hi Josh & Wayne;
These are for Outlook Express and I don't know if they work for Window's
Mail. When making a message rule and you choose rule 6, subject contains
specific words, what you type in rules 9 thru 11 must be exactly as they
appear in the emails you receive. Meaning if there are brackets, spaces,
some letters capitalized and some not, the entry has to be exact as the
email subject line. For example; [JAWS-Users] is exactly the way it
should look when inserting in rules 9 thru 11 if the message rule is for
Jaws-Users.
Making Message Rules
This particular instance wil automatically tell Outlook Express to place
all
emails from (what you set up) into your new folder that you made.
1 make sure you have a folder in your OE list of folders called(x) the
name
of your folder that you want all your emails to go into.
Here we go.
2. While in OE, hit alt T to take you to the Tools menu.
3. press r to take you to message rules
4. press the letter M for Mail.
5. Press Tab one time for New and press enter.
6. Arrow down untill you hear where subject line contains specific words
and
Press the spacebar one time
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.
8. Now tab once until you see or hear Name of the rule. section 3 New mail
rule
9. arrow down to (where the subject line contains specific words)
10. press enter
11. type in exactly what is on the subject line of the email
12. tab to add and press spacebar
13. arrow down until you hear the name of the subject line you put in
14. tab to ok press spacebar
15. Down arrow one time to move it to specified folder, press enter
16. Now you will up or down arrow until you hear the name of your folder
spoken(to what ever you named your folder in the inbox).
17. Tab over to Ok and hit enter. You will be taken back to the mail rules
page.
18. tab to section 4
Press the delete key on (New Mail Rule #1) and then type in the name you
want showing in the message rules list.
19. tab to ok press spacebar
20. Tab to Apply Now and hit enter.
21. This step I'm not certain of. You may be able to tab past this and go
on to the next step. Another screen here and you should tab to Select all
button
and press space bar
22. Tab until you see or hear Apply to Folder.... Inbox. Hit enter.
23. You will be given a message that your rules have been applied. Hit
enter.
24. Tab to close and press enter
25. You are now in the mail rules page again and you should tab to OK and
hit enter.
you are now finished. Hope this has helped. Take care.
Mike

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
