Mass add to junk email list in Outlook 2003

[karate718]

Hi,

I get a lot of junk mail, just like everyone else. I can add senders to the junk email list, however, I can only do so one message at a time (by right clicking, selectiing junk email, and then add to blocked senders list).

Does anyone have a method for moving multiple messages in one fell swoop?

Thank you.

Well you could go to new rule click blank rule, in the people or distributin list give the e-mail addresses of the mails you want to delete and click ok.

Newrule>Startfrom a blank rule>Check messages when they arrive>Next>tick from people or distribution list> give the email address of mails you want to delete>next>delete it>finish

Um...no, even that would be too difficult. You would still have to go through all of those messages and find the email addresses--not to mention the fact that they will most likely be different every time.

Just flip that idea around. Set up a rule so that only emails coming from an address in your *contacts* list are accepted into the Inbox.

I just did this on my mother's computer last weekend, actually. I would estimate that about 99% of the email she gets is junk. I just set it up so contact list emails go into the Inbox and anything else immediately goes to the Deleted folder.

I opted for this approach for her rather than turn on the spam blocker provided by the ISP since in this way she can still go into the Deleted folder to make sure that something that should have gone through did not. With the spam blocker, it would just flat-out delete whatever it considered 'spam' and she'd never know or have a chance to tell it otherwise.
