| | Message Rules stopped working About two weeks ago, all my message rules stopped working. My rules are to sort incoming emails into different folders and to delete emails with certain words. I have tried running each of the rules seperately, but that does not work either. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

| | Re: Message Rules stopped working Did you look at Tools, Message Rules, Mail, and make sure each rule has the blue checkmark in front of it? Make a new test rule and see if it works. Some third party security software programs interfere with rule saving. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "aew" <aew@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:A606117A-9471-44BD-94C7-FEFD5BE392D9@xxxxxx Quote: > About two weeks ago, all my message rules stopped working.

| | Re: Message Rules stopped working Thank you for your response. Yes, all the rules have a blue check. Is there a limit how many words you can use in the rules to delete the emails? Perhaps that's the problem?

| | Re: Message Rules stopped working I'm not aware of a limit, but as I suggested, create a new (simple) rule and test it. If the new one works then you know the old ones are corrupted. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "aew" <aew@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:AB51DE1D-28D0-417C-960C-9214328BEC77@xxxxxx Quote: > Thank you for your response.
