Message Rule to allow only people in my Address Book.
Tools | Options | Message Rules | Mail | New.
Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it}
Box 2 - Delete from server {check it}
Box 3 - Click on the blue words Contains People
Left click on the top address and hold the mouse key down and drag the
cursor to 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. You will not see
any
other e-mail.
Be sure to see these links for more options.

Is there a way to setup a filter that only allows mail from people in
my
address book? If there is a way I would appreciate the instructions.
Thx
