There never will be an OE7, so don't hold your breath. Firewalls are
primarily for your Internet connections, and not e-mail. Message rules work,
if they are set up correctly. All that aside, if you never post your real
e-mail address except for your friends and trusted sites, (your bill
paying, your bank, etc.), you will never get spam.

I have an e-mail address that I have used for over four yeas. I have yet to
get any spam. If I want to order something online, or similar, I use another
address. My throwaway one. My ISP allows up to seven addresses at no extra
charge.

Enter your address at Lending tree, or Priceline.com and wait a week or two.
You will be bombarded. Please review the following for what you can do with
message rules. Filtering in may be your best option.

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?
