I couldn't say without you stating how the rules are set up and what you
are trying to accomplish.

I'm using a new laptop, and I am unable to set my message rules properly!
i am doing them the way I always had in the past, and they are just not
working, they are still coming into my inbox, any ideas what the problem
could be. thanks



sorry to be so long in replying. I shall try to explain further. I am a
member of a newsgroup, lets call it ford focus fans. I shall go through my
procedure with you. message rule number 1. ticked subject specific words and
typed in Ford focus fans. Actions ticked move to specific folder, and stop
processing more rules.

rule description. after mail arrives,subject line containing words ford
focus fans, moved to ford focus fans folder (which I had already) and stop
processing more rules.

i didnt name it precisely, just left it as default rule number 1 when i
got up this morning, there's nothing in the folder, just in the inbox.....8
posts from ford focus fans...

thanks for your help
