Hi Pat First we need to gather something by coping it for later use in the setting up of the first rule. Bring up one of the messages you get that you want to get rid of and right click on it and select Properties. Click on the "Details" tab and find in there where it says "From" and gives the senders addy. Highlight and copy everything from the @ to the right of it. Hopefully this is an email that is not from some place like Hotmail or AOL or Yahoo where you may be getting other mail. If it does, for now select another email. I set up 3 delete folders. One labeled "From", another Labeled "Subject" and a third Labeled "Body" in OE. I suggest you do the same for right now. Now in OE go to Tools highlight Message Rules, click on Mail and a message rules dialog box will come up. Please notice the message block option in this dialog box, but we will come back to that. Click on the "New" button top right and that will bring up a "New rule" dialog box with 4 areas that you will select from. The first being "select the conditions for your rule". This time I would select by checking the box "Where the from lone contains people". It does not matter if the sender is a person or not. Please browse through the rest of the options as you will be using them next. The second area is labeled "select the actions for your rule". Here I would initially set it up to go to a specific folder by checking the box "Move it to a specified folder". At this time I would not select "Delete it cause you want a time period to text that you have set up conditions that will NOT eliminate some wanted email. Believe me it can and does happen. The third area is labeled "Rule description (click on the underlined area to edit it). It will also be a different color. The first sentence in here will say "Where the from line contains people". Contains People will be underline and in blue. Click on that and a "select people" dialog box will come up and the cursor blinking in the input box. Please notice that the add button is grayed out now. Go to the input box and paste the addy you copied. Now Notice that the ADD button is active now. Click on the ADD button. You must do this or it will not take effect. You will now see the addy come up under the People input box just below. Click the OK button. You will now be back in the "New rule message" dialog box. Click on the underlined "Specify folder". You will see a move dialog box come up with a diagram of all your email folders. Click on and highlight the from folder you created under the main delete folder. Click on the ok button and it will take you back to the New rule dialog box. The fourth area is the name of the rule. I suggest you type in their "Delete From". You can put anything in their you want, I suggest this cause it will help you on the future. Click ok. You will see the new rule name added to the first area in the message rules dialog box area. Click ok and your new rule will now go into effect. For the Subject rule you will copy or type the subject (Hopefully it will be unusual and unique) instead of the from line. Go back to the to the dialog box and select the one for the subject and proceed as before. For the Body one, select something from the body of the email that is different and unique. Copy or type this into the selected part in the third area of the message dialog box. Hope this helps, Let me know if you need further help. Bob Life is what happens in between plans.
