Hi David:

Thanks for your in put.

When I used Outlook to set up my Hotmail account, Outlook created a second
group of folders within the Outlook screen.

Now, I have a group of "local" folders (In, Out, Sent, Easi, etc), and a
group of "Hotmail"  folders (In, Out, Sent, etc).

When I retrieve mail, I open Outlook, and all mail goes to the "In" box
within the "hotmail" grouping.

If I manually move all messages to the "In" box in the "local" grouping, I
can apply all my rules at once, and the mail is sorted.

I have not discovered a method (within Outlook), to create a rule which
applies to the "In" box within the "Hotmail" grouping.

Hope this makes sense.

Jim
