Outlook Express Not Processing Rules

[Francis]

Hello all,

I would like to aplologize if this is not the right places to make this
post.

I use Outlook Express for e-mail and I get alot of SPAM, so I use the
"Message Rules" to try and filter out the spam. The rules worked OK (but
not wonderfully...), so I downloaded "Mailwasher" to help filter the spam.

I found that Mailwasher was not very effective so I uninstalled it.

Now, Outlook Express will not filter my messages according to the "Message
Rules" I have set up.

I have sent test e-mails to my self that would EASILY break several of the
rules, but the message still went through!

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance

Have you looked to see if the rules you wrote are still
there after you deleted MailWasher?
