Hi Micheleisfree,

Look at step 13 in the "To Reset Windows Mail" section towards the bottom of this tutorial for a reference on how to do it. You go to the same area you setup the message rule.

Windows Mail problems

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi, Shawn,
Thanks for such a fast reply.
Sucks that we can't just eliminate one rule without wrecking absolutely
everything.

Michele,

Yeah, when they work together so closely, it is hard to sort through them easily. Just go through them one by one, and you will get them sorted properly.

Good luck,
Shawn

I have about 600 rules for blocking spam. I mistakenly blocked a sender that
I need. Only one. Can I view the list of rules and change 1. If so can i
search for that 1 or do i have to go thru 600

Blocked Senders are different from Rules.

The Blocked sender list is at
Tools - Junk E-mail options - Blocked senders

Rules are accessed by going to
Tools - Message Rules - Mail (or) News

I don't know of any way to search them, but if you hit the first letter of
the address, it will jump to the first one starting with that letter.
