Need a mail rule for anyone NOT in address book
 

I am trying to set up a mail rule in OE6 so that any mail that arrives from
someone that is not present in my address book is automatically moved to a
particular location. I want this so that it makes it easier for my family to
keep away from dodgy emails that may arrive as we have started to get some
spam arriving after many years of nothing.

I already have rules to colour code messages from people we know, so my
family is using this to keep away from other mail as it will still be
coloured standard black.

If it is not possible to define the rule I would like, I will have to put up
with the colour coding.

TIA

Martin

Create a rule, add all people from the Address Book.
Click on Options, select does not contain.
Have the actions, move to folder and stop processing more rules.

Thanks for that. I knew it had to be there somewhere. I am assumin that
whenever I add someone to the address book, I will have to update this rule
again.
