incoming mail wont go to folder

[Guest]

When i get incoming mail, it goes to the inbox, but i want it to go to my
folder instead but how?

Use message rules: Tools, Options, Message Rules.

I tried this and it doesn't work. I've set my mail so I have to manually
receive it. After 50 I just stop the incoming mail to see if the rules have
worked -- NO they haven't. There is an apply button, so I've been going
through that step to apply the message to a certain folder. NO that doesn't
work.

Exactly what are you trying to do?
Click on one of the rules, highlight the text in the description box, and
copy (hit Ctrl-C)

Respond to this message, and paste (Ctrl-V) the text into the message.
You can replace any actual email address with x's, if you want.

Here's one of my rules...

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains '(e-mail address removed)' or
'Fidelity'
Move it to the Fidelity folder

In addition to the reply Dave posted, it helps if each one of your
message rules is terminated by:
Stop processing more rules.

I am also trying to use the message rules. I have done what I was instructed
to do and went back through and checked it to your suggestions. It is not
working. I am getting huge huge amounts of mail for Viagra and/or Cialis. I
asked that anythign with those two words in the subject line or in the body
of the email be sent to spam folder. They are not. I am getting around 200 of
these each day. It is tedious to say the least. So is there anything I am
missing if I have done what you have suggested?
