Re: Create rules doesn't work...AT ALL

Think about this for a moment. All the other e-mail with Free went away except this one. The stuborn one may only appear to look the same. Figure out what is different about that one, and you have the problem licked.

I've noticed this too.  Made a rule to delete anything with "Free"
in the subject, and run it on my Inbox, and the mail still sits
there staring me in the face.


I've noticed that blocking "Free" does not block "F r e e", Or "F
ree", or "FR EE", and that is EXACTLY what I would expect. Be very
careful in what you specify, it's not able to guess what you want.



I know all this.  I'm trying to delete mails with "Free" (no quotes)
in the subject.  One such mail still exists in my Inbox with "Free"
in the subject, even though I've run the rule now on my Inbox.  :(
