Windows Forum / Outlook Express / OE 5.x / May 2004Message rules OEv5
Hi to all, Have a few message rules set up, they work quite well except for message rule No 1 which tells OE that 'if the from line does not contain (all my addresses in my address book) delete it'. About 2% slip through this rule, why would that be?  Signature* * Pebble in Boulder * * -- Name: MULTIMEDIA 800AU* Microprocessor: Intel Pentium Ill 800MHz RAM: 64MB Video Memory: 8MB (VooDoo 3 2000) Hard Disk: 20GB Operating System: Windows '98 SE OE v 5.00.2615.200 > Hi to all, > Have a few message rules set up, they work quite well except for [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > -- > * * Pebble in Boulder * * Add "Stop processing more rules" as another action in the rule. As the rule is now, if the message also satisfies a rule farther down the list the move to Deleted Items never takes place. See http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/why.htm#rules SignatureFrank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup. Do not send email http://www.fjsmjs.com Protect your PC http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/ Thanks Frank, As the rules are set up now, these unwanted messages landing in my inbox don't satisfy any of the rules. Rule 1 From line does not contain (all of my address book) delete it Rule 2 From line does contain (all of my address book) move to WANTED folder Rule 3 Where the message has an attachment move to the BEWARE folder That's the only rules I have, the unwanted mails are spam. > > Hi to all, > > Have a few message rules set up, they work quite well except for [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > See > http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/why.htm#rules Pebble You could forget about Rule 1. If you do that everything in your Inbox is most likely to be spam. You then place the cursor on the first message, depress and hold down the Shift key and arrow down checking that each is spam until the last message. Release the Shift key and then Shift+Delete to remove your spam. One less Rule to maintain! Signature~~~~~~ Hope this helps.

Also, so the other user of this computer doesn't get tempted to open anything in the inbox! I do a quick check of the deleted folder before I close the programme and have 'empty deleted folder on exit' in options, maintenance.
