Default REQ MAIL RULE "TO:" Field

How can I set up a mail rule that, if the address in the TO: field is NOT my
EXACT address, delete it automatically? I had one oncew, but my C: drive
crashed. Thanks!

Default REQ MAIL RULE "TO:" Field

Actually, that rule will allow messages if other addresses are also in the
To field besides your own. Is this acceptable for you? If not, you can't
eliminate everything, but you can narrow it down farther with a second rule.

Where the To line contains people

Delete it from server

Click on Contains People and one-at-a-time, Add every letter and number,
(0-9), that is /not/ in your address.
