I would filter in the mail. 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.

Hi,
I am getting bombarded with spam emails. Is there a setting in OE that I
can select to only receive emails from people in my address book.
Your help is appreciated
Thanks and Regards
Bob
