Message Rules may be corrupted.

With OE closed, go to Start | Run and type in:

regedit

and 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.

Under that key, you will find the following sub-keys, among others:

|-----------------------Block Senders
|-----------------------Rules
|-----------------------Signatures

Select the Rules Key and delete it. Reboot and open OE and see if it works
now.

I imported all of my messages and folders from Outlook into OE. None of
my message rules came along for the ride, so I am trying to create them.
When I click on "specified folder" I get an hourglass shape and then it
eventually disappears. I never get another window or a list of folders or
anything. I can't find anything on the web about this...

any ideas??
