Hello,

I've got a lot of email accounts, mailboxes and an elaborate and long list
of message rules.

OE6''s Message Rules dialog box is an extremely limited way of managing Mail
Rules. You can't sort them alphabetically, to move one to the top or bottom
of the list, you have to click your mouse a zillion times, you can't select
multiple rules to batch enable/disable etc.

Since these rules are all based on registry entries, it seems that there
must be way to write code for an application that could help manage Mail
Rules, perhaps with other features like managaing parameters of Mail
Accounts, etc.

Does anyone know of such software? I'd be interested in finding out.
Freeware would be nice, but I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for
shareware etc.

thanks for any ideas...

Dan

If you are referring to Outlook Express or Outlook, look no further than;
