I have two email addresses which I am trying to manage in Vista. I wrote two
rules yesterday and applied them to my Vista Mail. They seem to be working
last night. Today they are gone and the rules are not being followed.. both
addresses are being put in the same inbox. In addition I tried to find where
the messages would be listed in the toolbar and can't find them. Do I have
to write them every day? --

Did you look at the location where you wrote the message rules?
Tools, Message rules, Mail...

It might be a security program blocking the Registry changes it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try making the rules.
