I have just created 5 Windows Mail filters.

Of those 5, only 3 have been saved.

How do I get all the filters to be saved?

thanks
 
Either your antivirus program or one of your other security programs
may be blocking writes to the registry. Changes can't be saved if
they can't be written to the registry.
Some of the security programs known to do this are:

Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5, reported to be fixed in later versions.
 
I take that to mean you have none of the other mentioned security programs.
As far as I know, OneCare has not been implicated in this type of problem.

Perhaps the rule you are creating has some sort of logical inconsistency.
Can you give us an example of one that fails to save?
 
1. Condition - Where the to line contains people
2. Select action - Move to specified folder
 
All message rules must include the action: "Stop processing
more rules." However, that omission should not have caused
a failure to save the rule. Since you don't have any third party
security programs, it is a mystery why this problem is occurring.
The only remaining suggestion I have is to upgrade to WLM:
