Hi Dallas,

Are the accounts POP3 or IMAP? POP3 would use the folders provided in
Outlook Express. IMAP would result in a download of mirrored folders that
exist on the server. It is possible to incorrectly set-up a POP3 account. It
might say downloading Inbox instead of downloading messages. With POP3 all
messages would go to the default (POP3) inbox without the use of message
rules.

Once we get past the question about the type of account the rest of the
problems can be addressed. Outlook Express message rules only work with POP3
accounts. Do you know of a Highstream support page that details how to
set-up a mail account. It sounds like this may have been done with the help
of Internet connection software provided by your ISP.

Morning Tim,
 Thanks again ! Just checking the Posts before the Daytona 500 starts !
 Anyway, here's where I'm at: I use highstream.net for my ISP/Server, where
I have both my Primary & Secondary accounts set up. I use the same
nick/addyies in OE6.
 Now, If I keep the ISP Webmail box closed, I do not get any mail there for
my Primary, as long as I don't open it Prior to OE. No problems there. Now,
the same seems to be working re: my Secondary account & my Primary account
here in OE6. IF I open my Secondary account first, no mail goes to, or is
deleted, at my Primary account. Just wondering if what you suggested, will
mean that no matter which OE6 Account I open, the mail to each, will go to
the speccified accounts ?
 As far as your reply, when you say not to make it a Sub Folder, how is that
achieved ? 2, I use a nickname, & not Inbox & 3, what & how do I make a mail
mesaage rule to route... ?
 Again, thanks so much Tim, for your help, patience & sorry for my ignorance
re: PC's but I am trying my best to learn.
 Enjoy your Sunday !

Tim: That said, create a new OE Local Folder for the second (POP3)
account. I recommend not making this a sub-folder of the Inbox. Do not name
the new folder "Inbox." Use a mail message rule to route mail addressed to
the second account to the new folder
