In my opinion, this way is way too complicated. The steps that Ed gave are more easier to do to accomplish the same result for making rules in Outlook. Just my two cents worth! Smiles...

Creating Message/filter rules in outlook, I believe these steps will work in outlook 2010,2013,2016. 1, open outlook. 2, you first need to create the folder in which you want to filter the messages too. Ctrl+shift+e=create new folder, So here in the edit field type the preferred folder name. Now tab twice, you're being asked where you want the folder, you most likely want it on the first level with all the other outlook folders, So press the home key, You should here, Your name/email, and level zero, now tab enter ok button, the folder has been created. Now we need to setup the message/filter. >From the inbox, find a message in which you wish to send to the newly created folder, Press the applications key, you can either press the up/down arrow until you hear, Rules sub-menu, Now you can press enter, Up arrow enter on, create new rule. If you wish to use shortcut keys, 1, press applications key, Press the letter's s/u Now let's assume you're creating a message filter for jaws-users-list, Once you've chosen the way you get into the rule creation, You will land on, From JAWS-Users-List This box is unchecked, press the spacebar to check, Now tab until you hear; Sent to jaws-users-list This box is unchecked, press the spacebar to check. Now you need to tab until you hear; Move the item to folder: Note, this box is unchecked, so spacebar to check, If it's your first folder, you will automatically be placed into the list of folders, If not, you will need to tab and enter on, Select Folder... Now that you're in a list of folders, press the letter j=jaws-users-list, or whatever the list name is, Now you need to tab and enter on ok. Note, the rule isn't quite finished yet, Now tab to the advance options button, press enter. Now you have four steps you need to apply, The first step is, Select conditions, This screen can be excepted as is, so just tab to next and press enter. The next screen is, Select actions, again this screen is fine, so, just go to the next button and press enter. The third screen is, Are there any exceptions, Again, here the screen is fine, just tab to next press enter. Finally we arrive at the last screen, Finish rule setup, You will need to, tab and check the box that reads, Run this rule now on messages already in "Jaws-Users" Again, this will depend on the folder/name/filter, Again tab and, make sure that, Turn on this rule is checked, Now tab and press enter on finish, the rule will be applied to the messages currently in the inbox, and from now on, all messages with the criteria you chose, Will be placed into the folder. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jim rawls Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] indeed a step by step guide on how to set message rules in outlook 2010.
