How in the world can I block emails that come to me in different languages.
Also, how can I block messages that are obviously spam (viagra, cialis,
medicines etc.)? Can anyone please help me? These things are driving me
crazy.

You can filter in the mail. Spammers change their addresses, and misspell
words on purpose, so From and Subject rules are just about useless. Start
with the Address Book only rule and as you get messages you want from people
not in your Address Book, (E-mail from businesses, bills, your ISP, etc.),
you can add them to the rule.

Tools | Options | Message Rules | Mail | New.

Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it}

Box 2 - Check: Delete it & Stop processing more rules if you want messages
not in the Address Book to go to Deleted Items, or you can create a Junk
folder and direct them there.

You can choose Delete it from server, but be careful as you will never have
any messages downloaded to any folder if you choose this option.

Box 3 - Click on the blue words Contains People

Click on the first address to highlight it. Scroll down to the end and hold
down the Ctrl key while you click on 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 to your Inbox. You will
not see any other e-mail.

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.

Be sure to see these links for more options.

I've found this Outlook Express Message Rule fairly effective with Asian
spam

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the Subject line contains 'ä' or '±' or '¥' or 'À' or 'Ç' or '¤'
or 'Æ' or 'Á' or 'Ò' or '¶' or '¯' or 'ª'
Delete it
and Stop processing more rules

If it misses a message, I copy/paste another unique character from the
subject into the rule. That characters have to be added one at a time.
