Subj: [kl] OT: How to create an email filter in MS Outlook
Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 17:30:10 -0400

The following instructions show how to create an email filter that will
automatically dump email from particular addresses into the Deleted =
Items
folder in Outlook. They work for MS Outlook 2002, and I suspect should =
work
for Outlook 2000 and 98 as well. Similar features exist in Eudora and =
many
other email clients; perhaps someone else will post instructions for =
those
clients.

1. Start MS Outlook.

2. Select Tools > Rules Wizard.

3. Click New.

4. Click to highlight "Move New Messages from Someone" and make sure the
radio button labeled "Start creating a new rule from a template" is
selected. Then click Next.

5. Check the box next to "from people or distribution list."

6. Click on the underlined text "people or distribution list" in the =
Rule
Description (bottom text box).

7. In the right hand box under "Specify the address of the sender" type =
in
the address of the sender whose messages you want to automatically =
delete
(e.g. wastestime@-----.

8. Click on the underlined "specified" in the Rule Description (bottom =
text
box).

9. Click on the trash can icon, labeled "Deleted Items" and click OK.

10. Click Finish.

Outlook will automatically delete posts from that sender.

If you have questions, I will try to answer them off-list.
