Todd-
I just confirmed this new option that I have. Thanks for the details.
Although, I think that I found an easier way to do this once in the wizard.
If you select "start from a blank rule" instead of from a template, you are
later able to select the whole account from which to move incoming
messages...this way you don't have to go thru your contact list and select
which contact would be sending you information to. Thanks....much more
organized now.
