Hello,

For some reason I don't recall the "Stop processing more messages" when I
set up my previous rule. I am very curious about something before I try all
of this stuff. Why when I click on a message that I want the rule to apply
to, from the tool bar I click message and the "create rule from message" is
grayed out? Shouldn't that be an option for me?

Thanks.

Any message rule must include Stop processing more messages, unless the
option is grayed out.

In general:

Have all rules that divert mail to folders first.

Delete it from server next.

All others last.

Make sure that every rule also has Stop processing more rules checked,
unless that option is grayed out.

In the past I had a message rule created so that all messages with a
particular subject would go into a specific folder I created. Somehow my
husband deleted that folder so I had to create it again. Luckily there
weren't any messages in it. I created the new folder again and the
message
rule, but now it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much!
