When I started my crusade against spam, I had assumed that most people can do things online with competence as a spam filter for Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. It turns out that it is not afraid to adjust the default settings are always better throughout the majority of the population, or even could not find the time or inclination to engage in and there.
Fortunately, this is a very simple process, and even the computer more ESE challenged among us canobtain easily happen if we understood how it works. In this small how-to become an example of how to set a filter using Outlook Express, purely on the basis that this will open the program on my desktop as I type this.
There are two parts, a filter - a condition and an action. The state defines the set of circumstances that would trigger the action. The action is, of course, what happens if the circumstances described are true in the state.
The example Iwill be used is to delete messages with [SPAM] in the title. My ISP, once went through a phase a bit 'silly, do not remove spam - but labeling in the header and leaving the eliminations of us. It seems that she had a condition that all their customers to create a filter for the hundreds of messages [SPAM] marked that might suddenly get set up to manage. They were quickly put in order, but pictures of overload.
Then we'll create a simple filter in Outlook Expresseverything with [SPAM] in eliminating the Title.
Step 1: Click on the Tools menu. They choose and select news rule (click) to post ...
A small window will open with the new regulations message title, and three tabs. The mail ... Tab is selected.
Step 2: Click the new ... Button.
Another new window with the title bar of the New E-Mail article. There are 4 fields to fill in as a.
Step 3: In the first white box, click the square next to "where the subjectLine contains specific words ".
A checkmark in the box. You will find the 3rd note field becomes a little 'more in him, we are very much with that in the near future.
Step 4: In the second white box, click the square next to them delete them.
A checkmark in the box. The text in the third white box now as follows: applying the article after the message arrives, in which the subject contains specific words, delete. 'Contains specific words are bluestressed.
Step 5: In the third highlighted click the white box on the blue words "contains specific words'.
A new window will open with title bar, the words specific type.
Step 6: In the first box in that window, enter [SPAM]. Click "Add". Click OK.
Will return to the previous window. The third box now contains the text: Apply this rule after the message arrives where the subject line contains [SPAM] "Delete
Step 7: In the fourth rowEnter a descriptive name for the spam filter. I use "Remove [SPAM]" rule. Click the OK button.
After clicking OK, you are taken back to the window message rules. Click OK and you will add a filter. Well Done.
To my knowledge, there is no limit to the number of filters that can be applied. It 'important to remember is that the filter does not discriminate. If the result returns true, then apply the action (Delete in this case).
Happy filtering.
