Mail Rules

[JJ]

I created message rules in windows mail. When I close windows mail and
reopen it, the message rules are missing in the message rules/mail dialog
box. Do I lose the rules everytime I close windows mail? Are they still
active but not seen?

Thanks
John

The message rules should always be viewable under Tools,
Message Rules, Mail...
In order for a message rule or setting change to be saved, it needs to
be written to the registry. Some security programs prevent writes to
the registry. A partial list of programs known to do this are:

Ad-Aware Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spy Sweeper
Spyware Doctor
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5, reported to be fixed in later versions.
