Rules do not export/import. You can drag the Rules file from one Identity to
another, but you have to reset each folder destination for each rule. Much
easier than having to start from scratch.

However, it sounds like you lost all your rules. Do you have a backup you
could drag back the Rules file?

I always keep screenshots of my Rules to help if I ever have to recreate.

my old rules are in the old mud folder. when i drag it into the the new folder entourage will not open saying the file is corrupt. text edit indicates the rules are there (albiet with a bunch of unreadable codes) but dragging and dropping did not work for me.

Can you open them in the old MUD folder and take screenshots? Rebuilding
does not fix a bad rules file.
