Message rules in Outlook Express
Like many email clients, Outlook Express comes with capability for filtering email according to various rules or criteria that you can set up. These rules can be used to direct mail from certain senders or mail about certain subjects to a particular folder or they can be used to control spam by blocking email that meets cerain conditions. Although it is possible to create rather sophisticated filters in Outlook Express, I have found that spam control is not very good because the spammers keep changing subjects and use phony email addresses. Bayesian filters that “learn” from the mail that you receive are better and various programs are available that use this technique. Nonetheless, those who use Outlook Express may wish to incorporate some filtering and I describe the process at this link. A similar tutorial is also available here.
