Thank you, Bruce,
Just what I was looking for.

If it works/doesn't work, you'll be hearing from me! LOL

| Either we are missing something simple, or the rules registry key is
| corrupt.
|
| Close OE and then:
|
| 1.. In Regedit, navigate to this key:
|
| |--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
| |-----Identities
| |--------{GUID}
| |-----------Software
| |--------------Microsoft
| |-----------------Outlook Express
| |--------------------5.0
|
| where GUID is the Global Unique IDentifier for your Identity.
|
| 2.. Under that key, you will find the following sub-keys, among
| others:
|
| |-----------------------Block Senders
| |-----------------------Rules
| |-----------------------Signatures
|
| Select the Rules Key and delete it. Message Rules will be empty, but
you can
| rebuild it now when you open OE.

| 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

| | 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.
