There will never be an OE7. On Vista, the replacement is Windows Mail.

But the product that Microsoft is moving forward with as their preferred
free e-mail client is Windows Live Mail which is currently in beta
testing.

As for the problem you are experiencing, Delete from server works fine
in OE, IF you understand the limitations.

- The Actions "Delete from Server" and "Do Not Download" can only test
information in the message header (FROM, TO, CC, SUBJECT, message size).
If you test text in the message body or "has attachment", the message
must be download first for this test, negating the action. Also, these
must be the first rules in your list, or a preceding one may cause the
message to download. (Warning: "Do Not Download" should be a temporary
rule. If you just leave messages on the server, eventually your server
mail account will fill and you'll not receive any new mail.)

When OE 7 is created, message rules have to work better.

Delete from server would be a great rule if it worked!

My ISP is finally adding the ability to block email addresses on their
webmail server.

OE 7 should create a "server" so when the rule is created, message is
deleted from server.

A firewall in front of the Inbox . Message shouldn't be read at all,
if
Delete from Server rule was created. It shouldn't be in the Deleted
Items
folder either. Deleted before reaching the Inbox like it was never
received.



New Message rule about sending letters.

Some people respond to fraud emails they get. So when a letter is
created
FROM.... and its going to a spammer or marketer address, that rule
should be
Delete from Server after its been sent. It doesn't go anywhere at
all.

Some people aren't acting responsible responding to letters they
shouldn't
be. I'm trying to protect an older person, responding to almost
anything
received.

That's how fee scammers get their victims.

That's how a firewall in OE itself could work and help the message
rules
function properly.

OE7 should have a firewall server folder where email is collected
before it
reaches the Inbox

Does that make sense?
