Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / April 2007Message Rules
My partner gets a lot of adult spam mail in his Inbox and I can set up Mesage Rules to delete them if they contain certain words in the Subject or Message, but I cannot make a Rule and select don't dowload from server, as the Rule doesn't work. Why is this? Where do U see such a rule? I think all U can do is have OE make an offending msg not show up, but you can't make the server toss it. dan > From: Simba Kali <SimbaKali@discussions.microsoft.com> > Newsgroups: microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > but I cannot make a Rule and select don't dowload from server, as the Rule > doesn't work. Why is this? One of the options when making a Rule is "Don't download from server"! > Where do U see such a rule?

Firstly, do not use the Preview pane whilst online, just selecting a file to delete will send a message back to their server, then you'll get more... If it is the images that are a problem, you could restrict the first connection to only retrieve the first few KB of a message, (Tools menu, Accounts, Options tab) then whilst off-line, mark them (click, pop-up menu) for deletion from your server. The messages you do want, can be marked to download next time. HTH, &B-) Ian (false address), please reply to newsgroup! |
