I am using OE to download e-mail both
from my ISP (Cox) and from GMAIL.

However, only the Cox e-mail goes thru
the OE message rules.

Do I need to change some settings in OE?
Does anybody know what's wrong?

OE message rules work with POP3 mail servers. They don't work with HTTP
(Hotmail/MSN) or IMAP.

As far as I know, GMAIL offers only POP3 access, so that shouldn't be an
issue.

Assuming that GMAIL and COX are in the same Identity, then the same
message rules will apply to both. If you've created a second identity
for GMAIL, then you'll need to create the messages rules in the new
identity.

Beyond that, there would have to be some logic issue with the rules for
them not to work.

Sorry. They do work after all!
Thanks.
