Creating Rules in Outlook Express
for Windows

- If this is the first rule created, the NEW MAIL RULE window will
open (if this is not the first rule created, click NEW in the MAIL
RULES tab)
- In the first section of the box, labeled "Select the Conditions for
your rule," select desired conditions by putting a check in the box
next to the desired condition label (you must select at least one condition
and you can specify multiple conditions for a single rule by clicking more
than one check box)

- In the third section of the box, labeled "Rule Description," you
may specify particular criterion for selected conditions and actions by
clicking any hyperlinks in this section (for example, if you have selected
multiple conditions, click the "and" hyperlink in the RULE
DESCRIPTION section to specify whether all of the rule conditions must
be met before the specified action occurs (AND) or whether at least
one must be met (ONE))
- In the Rule Description area, be sure to click each word or phrase
hyperlink so the rule functions to your expectations
- In the fourth section of the box, labeled "Name of the rule,"
type the desired name for the rule
- Click OK

The rules you have just created will filter your messages as you directed
until you change them. You can change them as often as you like from the Mail
Rules tab. Simply highlight the rule you would like to change and click the
appropriate function: Modify, Copy, Remove or Apply Now.
