None of my rules work. I've tried disabling several and creating new ones in

trash them all and start over again.

Move the Rules file out of the Identity folder. Quit and restart Entourage.
It will create a new blank Rules file.


Great! So, then I can start from a "blank slate," right?

(Just out of curiosity...Is it possible to delete individual rules, or is it
an an "all or nothing" kind of thing?)

Hope this helps!

I've been using rules forever, so I don't think it's something I did wrong.
But this will be a good review as I start over again!

Thank you so very much, Diane.
