After making any changes to the Message Rules or Blocked Sender list,
you must use the OK button to close the main dialog that shows the list
of message rules or blocked senders. If you use the Cancel button or
the X to close that dialog, the changes you just made are thrown away.

In Outlook Express there is no option to check the address book. You
can create message rules where the FROM does Not contain specific e-mail
addresses then Delete from server. However, you will have to manually
keep the message rule list of addresses up-to-date independent of any
changes you make to the address book. Note the any rules with a action
of Delete from server or Do not download must be at the top of the
messages rules in order to work or a prior rule might trigger the
message to download.

I cannot permanantly remove old message rules I have for some reason.
I
click on remove and click apply etc but when I go back they are still
there.

What would the procedure be for establishing a rule for deleting
messages
from people that aren't in my address book.

Thanks

Kathy
