Thank You Bruce,
But, your suggestion is exactly how we add new addresses to the mail
rule people list.
It seems to be those addresses that are added after making the mail
rule..
and I don't see why it isn't working after deleting the whole rule and
making another using all the addresses in the address book... with
those addresses added at the same time.

It's only those latest addresses that aren't getting filtered.

I'll fool with it some more... thank you for your quick reply

E.

| The surest way to not make a mistake it to click Reply and copy the
address.
| Open Message Rules | Click on the Underlined Value at the bottom and
paste
| it in the Select People field and make sure you click ADD or the
address
| will not be included in the rule.
|
| As far as a limit, you can have a total of 4,096 entries in Rules
and
| Blocked Senders combined.

| HI,
| My husband's email account is set up for one mail rule... from his
| address book, but a few new addresses he's added to the "rule"
don't
| get filtered to the Inbox as all other addresses do.
|
| I've deleted the mail rule and made a fresh one from his address
book,
| but those new addresses are still going to the deleted folder.
|
| I've wracked my brain... Is there a limit to how many addresses
you
| can have in a particular mail rule?
| What am I missing when we add new addresses?
|
| Thanks,
| E.
