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.

Don't forget, if you add someone to your Address Book, you will have to add
them to the rule. It will not be added automatically. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... Message Rule to allow only people in my Address Book.
