Carolyn, The fact that a message rule isn't working for you in spite what the computer tells you, I find that if using imap, message rules don't often work. I have my outlook email account using pop now and message rules are working; however, when I had imap, I noticed emails came through to my inbox which confused me because I thought folks were writing me off list lol. In any rate, there is so much criteria to pick from which will cause lots of writing for my response, so I will just tell you how mine is set up and skip explanations for certain dialogs. I'm terrible aren't I? alt f and go to manage rules an alerts, press spacebar and select the new rule button. For step one, I select move messages sent to a public group to a folder and press tab. After tabbing once, it should say step 2, edit the rule exception click an underline value list box. Jaws should also echo what you selected in step one about the public group press enter here. After pressing enter, in the edit box, search for the email address in this case, you asked for tech talk, so if you have their email address in your contact folder, you can put a few letters in that edit field, tab to go, press spacebar and it should pop up for you to highlight. There address is [email protected]. After their email address is selected, tab to the to button, press spacebar, and there should be a ok button to press spacebar on. Next dialog, press down arrow once to move it to the specified folder and press enter. You will then find yourself in your folder tree. Use your up or down arrow keys and once you locate your folder, press tab once and you will land on the ok button, activate that with the spacebar. From here, I simply tab to the next button, press spacebar, until I reach the finish rule dialog, and there is a checkbox where you can run the rule for emails that are currently in the inbox. Tab to finish and all should be well.
Earlier, there were dialogs I didn't discuss as I am only telling you what I did and earlier where you selected where to move the messages, and tabbed to the ok button, you could just tab to the finish button. I like tabbing through the rest of the dialog, as at times something will pop in my head and I would like to set more to the message rule but in this case it's just about moving emails to a particular folder. You can also achieve the same thing via the context menu. I will use me for an example, if you want to move my emails to you over to the junk/trash/deleted folder, focus on my email, bring up the context menu, up or down arrow to the rules submenue and press right arrow. It should say always move messages from, and here it will state whatever is in the from field. Press enter, then navigate to the folder where you want the emails to land, in this case the trash/junk/deleted folder and then tab to ok and you're done. I like taking the long route because that was my first original way of doing it so I just stick to what brought me to the dance.

Kimsan, I hope they work. If you got a box set, and you got Tech Talk to come to it, would you send me the instructions. I have tried, but there must be a step I'm missing. My computer has even told me that I created a rule, but still my lists are coming to the Inbox. Thanks.
