How to set rules to filter emails?
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 |

How to set rules to filter emails?
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. ------------------------------------------ See these links for more options.

How to set rules to filter emails?
I try Window Defender on my computer, and find 1 virus and remove it, but try
it on user's computer next week, Ironically, my colleahue just re-install XP for Miss X, but she reports all CD and USB are not able to use, when I try to install Window Defender to check for any virus, and find fail to install because of error on Windows Installer 3.1, and I need to follow the case next week. Do you have any idea? Will it sound like virus again? The security software is very weak, they are using Sophos only, and find nothing when I use it to scan for any virus on infected computer. Do you have any suggestions?

How many times do I have to post this, Eric?
Backup your personal data, then do a format & clean install of Windows. Please note that a Repair Install (AKA in-place upgrade) will NOT fix this! After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting the machine to the internet or a computer network and before using a USB key that isn't brand-new or hasn't been freshly formatted: 5 steps to help protect your new computer before you go online http://www.microsoft.com/protect/com...nced/xppc.mspx NB: If all of these computers are on a local network, you must disconnect ALL of them from the network and do the above on ALL of the computers AND either Reset or Reinstall the router BEFORE reconnecting the computers to the local network! -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 Eric wrote: I try Window Defender on my computer, and find 1 virus and remove it, but try it on user's computer next week, Ironically, my colleahue just re-install XP for Miss X, but she reports all CD and USB are not able to use, when I try to install Window Defender to check for any virus, and find fail to install because of error on Windows Installer 3.1, and I need to follow the case next week.

Windows Defender is not an anti-virus programme. It does not detect viruses! You need an anti-virus programme and an anti-spyware programme! Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.36 -freeware (if you upgrade you pay). http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes...-10804572.html Run Malwarebytes' and turn off your current anti-virus before you do to avoid a conflict. Disregard the invitation on the web site regarding the Registry Optimiser -a Registry Optimiser is not a helpful utility. -- Hope this helps.
