Hi Jim having seen one version of message rules after I offered mine,
here it is so that between the two of them you should have no problems.
1 Create folder ctrl shift e
2 type in the name you want, and press enter.
now for how to create a rule.
1, alt t for tools,
2 r for rules,
3 it will say mail, hit space.
4 tab once to new, and press enter.
5 arrow down to "where the to or cc line contains people" hit space.
6 tab once, and the first option is Actions, move it to the specified
folder, press space.
7 tab once, to Rule description, and arrow down once and press enter.
8 It will ask you to add address, or select from address book, so for this
group type,
blinklink@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and tab once and press enter to add.
9 tab to ok, and press enter,
jj10 thris will bring you back to the rule description, arrow down twice,
to
the specified folder, and press enter.
11 you will now have a list of the folders you can select from, arrow down
to Blinklink, tab to ok, and press enter.
12 tab once to 4, name of the rule. it will currently say something like,
new rule 1, hit delete, and that should be cleared, you can then type
blinklink,
13 tab once to Ok, and press enter.
14 tab to apply this rule, and press space.
15, tab across to apply to inbox, and make sure it is checked,
16 tab to apply now, and press enter.
17 it should make a sound, and say, the rule has been applied ok, click
space.
18 tab once to close, and press space bar,
19 Finally, tab to ok, and press space bar.
Hopefully that should work. If not, call a friend, because I've done
something wrong. *grin!

Hi Jim
To automatically move mail to a particular folder do the following
changing
the text appropriate to your own requirements.
1. When in Outlook express, press alt+t for the tools menu then r for
the
message rules sub-menu followed by m to specify a mail rule.
2. If you find yourself in a list of one or more items, you already
have
some rules set up for something. It is necessary to tab to the new
button
and press enter.
3. You are now in a list of conditions, one or more of which can be
checked using the space bar. If Jaws doesn't speak an item's state,
i.e.
whether the item is checked or not, press JawsKey+numpad minus to bring
the
Jaws cursor to the pc cursor then try a say line JawsKey+numpad8. In
our
case we need to select the item where the subject line contains specific
words. Check this item using the space bar and ensure that it is
checked.
4. Now, tab once and you will land on a list which is similar to the
above
except that it comprises actions to be performed when the conditions
which
have been checked above apply. We need to check the first item which is
move it to the specified folder.
5. Now, tab once and you should land on a line saying apply this rule
after
the message arrives. Cursor down once and our condition should be here,
namely, where the subject line contains specific words. Press enter.
6. A field now opens allowing you to type the words you wish to be
checked
for in the subject line. In our case this is the character string
(bcab).
Tab to the add button and press enter. Tab to the ok button and press
enter
again.
7. Cursor down to the line move it to the specified folder and press
enter.
You will now be placed in a tree view of existing folders which you may
browse and press enter on, however, if the folder where you wish to move
your messages to doesn't yet exist, tab to the new button and press
enter.
Having selected the new button you may enter a name for your new folder
otherwise, select the folder where you wish the messages to reside, tab
to
the ok button and press enter.
8. You are now placed back on the conditions and actions you have
completed
and may review them. If all is as you intend, tab once and enter a name
for
your new rule so that you can identify it if you ever need to modify it.
9. Tab to the ok button and press enter.
10. You are now back in the original dialogue with your new rule
selected in
the list of rules and may apply the rule immediately by tabbing to apply
now
and pressing enter. Tab to the apply to folder item and select inbox
which
is probably the default. Now, tab to apply now and press enter.
11. You should hear a message after a short wait saying that your rules
have
been applied to your inbox. Press enter on the ok button. Finally, tab
to
the close button and press enter. If you still find yourself in a
dialogue,
tab to the ok button and press enter.
How's that?
Barry
