Clifford, I'm sure we can help, but you need to provide some specific
details about what you are trying to do ande what is happening / not
happening.
If you are setting up main folders for each of your e-mail addresses,
you need to create a folder and a rule that moves received mail
matching the respective e-mail address to that folder. You can add
alerts such as a box that pops up or a sound alert.
Once you have created these main folders, you can create specific
folders for any category of mail received, based on who sent it, to
whom it was addressed, what subject line was used, what words appear in
the body, or any fraction of information in each part of an e-mail's
structure, and where you want the mail to be moved.
I've found that the micro categories (e-mail from company X) need to be
near the top of the rules list, and the macro categories (e-mail to
your main account address, secondary address, etc.) need to be closer
to the bottom.
Some rules can be followed by other rules, like when you realize that
additional sorting or segmentation needs to be done on a folder of
mail.
Junk mail is (in my opinion) not handled very well in Entourage. The
Junk Mail filter is vague (you don't know what triggers it), so you end
up setting rules to handle the typical stuff (i.e., all .ru accounts or
all subjects containing "save now" etc. are sent to the delete folder).
Once you set a Junk rule, just keep adding to it. Although I do not use
Eudora any more, it does have a powerful and user-friendly junk mail
filter function.
Let me know if you have something more specific you are trying to do.
Jim
