Dear Dorothy, I've never tried on Outlook Express, the procedure for setting up the rules is certainly different from Outlook (and probably simpler) and might even work.

For what it is worth I have had similar problems in Outlook 2002. Following what seems to be successful completion of the procedure (no mean feat in itself) nothing seems to happen. The only thing that did occur to me was that the problem might have something to do with security settings or the like and that it might be necessary to enable the application of the rules before they work. Needless to say I have no idea if this is true and if it is, where such a feature can be found. I decided in the end that the time wasted in setting up this feature far outweighed the benefit from getting it to work. If you do happen to find a solution I would be very interested to know about it even so.

Here's what I've done with a named example and it isn't working, any guru that can suss out the answer gets a tube of smarties. XP pro, jfw 9 and Outlook 2002 Tools, message rules wizard... Tab to New... Hit space bar and select option 2, start from a blank messsage rule, space bar on the next button Arrow down the list to, "Where specific words appear in the senders address" and hit space bar to check it. Tab once, arrow down once and hit enter. In the edit field you land in, I have done this 3 times, inserting the following attempts... "david.tregellis" "tregellis" and "on behalf of David" tab to Ok and enter Tab to next and space bar Now space bar on "move it to the specified folder" to check it,and tab once In the tree view presented, I arrow to deleted items and space bar to check it. Bypass through the next set of exceptions and tab to finish, tab to Ok making sure the rule is activated with a tick in the checkbox, and end the process on the Ok button. My 3 rules are all listed, with a tick against them, set to deal with messages once they arrive Hmm, Davids messages still drop right into my inbox....
