below that are actions. I normally select: Move Message TO: select that drop-down and select the folder I want it sent to. on the top part where you have the FROM, if you click the "+" symbol it will add another line where you can add CC .. or Subject Contains, or.... and you can click the radio buttons for Match ANY, or match ALL of the conditions. click OK the click on that filter ( you should have given it a NAME..) and click the RUN NOW box, to try it out. If it worked your email will now be inthe folder you specified. If not, click EDIT and see if you can change something.. Sometimes it starts with FROM when you really wanted it to be TO. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
