Sorry about the shorthand.
I understand what your saying.
I'm trying to avoid logging into hotmail every time an email I find an
email in the Bulk & and want it to be in my inbox. I want the filter ON.
If I turn the filter off, it would be a big mess in my inbox. The hotmail
filter is set to allow only those in address book.

I guess the real answer is to turn the hotmail filter off completely, then
use OE to filter stuff (if that can be done). If so, can OE be set to send
all emails to Bulk with the exception of those names in my contacts?
