Only /from/ those two domains? Here are some suggestions that go beyond
that.

To block a domain, create a Message Rule:

Where the from line contains people
Delete it and Stop processing more rules (or Delete it from the server)
Click on Contains People and Add the domain. Ex: @yahoo.com
Click on Options and change it to *Does Not Contain*.

-------------------------------------

Address Book Only Rule:

Start with the Address Book only rule and as you get messages you want from
people not in your Address Book, (E-mail from businesses, bills, your ISP,
etc.), you can add them to the rule.

Tools | Message Rules | Mail | New.

Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it}

Box 2 - Check: Delete it & Stop processing more rules if you want messages
not in the Address Book to go to Deleted Items, or you can create a Junk
folder and direct them there.

You can choose Delete it from server, but be careful as you will never have
any messages downloaded to any folder if you choose this option.

Box 3 - Click on the blue words Contains People

Click on the first address to highlight it. Scroll down to the end and hold
down the Ctrl key while you click on the last address. This will highlight
them all. Right click on them and click on From in the menu that appears.

Now click Options and Choose: Message *does not contain* the people below in
the top Options box, and choose: Message matches any one of the people below
in the bottom Options box.

OK your way out of the new rule.

Now, only addresses you entered will be downloaded to your Inbox. You will
not see any other e-mail.

Don't forget, if you add someone to your Address Book, you will have to add
them to the rule. It will not be added automatically.

Dose anyone have any suggestions on how to set rules to filter emails?
I am using XP SP2 with IE7.
I receive a ton of junk mails for my pop3 account, I would like to receive
email from specific domain only, e.g. @abc.com and @gmail.com, and other
emails from the other domain will filter into Trash and delete when
closing
outlook express.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric
