What is the best newsgroup to seek out answers to questions on Windows Mail rule sets under Windows Vista/Ultimate?
Thanks.

The rules between OE and WinMail are much the same except the location of
them is under Tools | Junk email options as well as Tools | Message rules.

I'm actually looking for a way to "backtrace" which will is responsible for which action, in particular what makes a given message end up in either Deleted or Junk?
Ross
Thank you, Steve! What I am trying to determine which of my rules -- I have about 50 rules -- is responsible for a particular action for a particular message.

If any message can't be moved or deleted, apply this Microsoft fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941090
Although that article only mentions Outbox, it works for all mail folders.

The rules are stored in the registry. If you can't get the information from
the actual rule itself, you can look in the registry under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Rules

Steve, oh I have no problem finding the rules. I have a zillion of them. However I was trying to figure out which one a particular was causing a message to end up in the Deleted folder or the Junk folder. Currently I'm forced to look in the junk folder and then mark individual messages as "not junk"
there should be some means of determining which rule actually stuck it there so I can modify or disable it.

There is no way to do that. You could move the message back out of the
Deleted or Junk folders and then individually apply the rules until you find
the culprit. I don't know any other means.

That's a pity! There should be something added, perhaps in the header, when a message gets moved to a folder that defines which rule caused the move. Perhaps calling some function for each message move?
Perhaps in Windows 7 -- it's a long beta!

Windows 7 will not come with an email program.
Also, free email programs are not likely to have the sophisticated
types of features you are looking for.

Gary, Are you saying that Microsoft will not be providing/supporting
Windows Mail/Live Mail for Windows 7?
If so, maybe instead of switching to Live Mail (when I upgrade to Vista
shortly- now on XP & OE) I should be looking at Outlook or an independent
mail program. I don't particularly want to learn/setup a new email program
(and newsreader) and then have to switch again in a year or so.
Your thoughts?

Windows 7 does not and will not include a default Mail Client; cf.

Windows Live Mail will continue to be developed and supported
for the indefinite future. Windows 7 will include a download link
to get the latest version of that mail client.

[I think you'll find that many OEMs will include the current version of
Windows Live Essentials installer on new Win7 machines but I wouldn't look
for Win7 itself to include it. YMMV.]
