Hope this is what you are after, had them filed away for a long time so don't know if they still apply.
This is a message to explain how to set up a rule in Outlook Express which will identify certain messages and move them to a different folder. You may wish to have all of the messages from the BCAB mailing list automatically moved to a particular folder. To do this, 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. If all went well, you should be able to navigate the folders in your Outlook express and find any message which met the condition we set, in the folder which you specified. Outlook Express as far as rules is concerned, make sure that you have checked move to specified folder and not copy to specified folder. Copying will just copy the message to the folder from the inbox leaving the original in the inbox.

I now want to eliminate all in-coming messages with "Spam" in their subject line in Outlook 2002. I would be grateful for a step-by-step description of how this is done since I have been unable to do it unaided. My apologies for not being more attentive in the past Best wishes Robert ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
