OE6 rules, someone explain pls, not working!

I have tried so many times to get these darned rules to work and they just don't for me, and the couple of times they have worked was a total fluke!

First of all, when I go to create a "rule" the only folders I get an option to choose from are the local folders, not the email folders... Most of my accounts are hotmail accounts, is this why? When I want to sort them as they come into OE I don't get that option for setting up the rules, as the Hotmail folders don't come up.. does that make sense???

I get sooo many emails from many lists I'm on that I would love to sort them as they come in, can someone help me?

Thanks in advance!!

Yup! Rules work only with POP3 accounts - and Hotmail ain't POP3.

 

Well, now that would explain it! LOL!! At least it aint me messing it up!

Thanks!
