Hi Josh; Pay close attention to rule #18. You have to delete or backspace out New Rule1 or what ever it says before typing in what you want to name your message rule. Also, don't press escape after applying your message rule. Follow the rules below when you get to the point of applying your rule. 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 helps. Take care.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ishe Chinyoka" <chinyoka.consult...@gmail.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2010 3:11 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MESSAGE RULES > Hi > Try this: > 1.
