You're welcome, Jenny. If you want to get *High Class*, you can send the
non- Address Book e-mails to a junk folder you create, but it's really just
an extra step.

Take heed in PA Bear's advice. I had an e-mail address with Cox
Communications and got no spam for the first two years. Then, my son came
over and started checking things at Lending Tree, Priceline, and a few other
unsavory places and entering my address for correspondence. Within 2 months,
I was getting about 50 spam messages a day. I went to the Cox Web Site and
created a new address. I use my old address only for ordering online. A few
message rules keep that down to 3 or 4 spams a day. My new address has only
been given to my friends, and places of business that are trusted. (My bank,
paying bills on line, etc.). I have no rules that block messages and only
some to divert mail to special folders. It has been over two years of using
this address and I have never had even one spam e-mail sent to me.

If you don't enter your e-mail address at untrusted sites, you won't get any
spam. It's worth looking into.

processing more rules, people in your address Book will go to the Inbox
and
the rest will go to Deleted Items.

PA Bear and Bruce gave you the facts.
However, you may not like the results of this filter.
If you choose this option, you will never hear from anyone new.
You will never hear from any friends that get a new ISP and a new
email
address.
You will find that you forgot to add a lot of addresses to your
address
book that you need to hear
from but don't normally write to. Example, your ISP that sends you
billing reminders.

At the request of several customers, I have put this filter in there
mail. Only to get called in a
couple of weeks to remove it.

How do I configure my address book so that only messages from people
in
my
address book are downloaded into my Inbox?


I can understand that. Is there any other way to prevent spam from
going
into my inbox?
