Create Filters in Outlook Express

Outlook Express allows you to set up very elaborate filters for handling mail which you can direct to certain folders by setting up Mail Rules.

Outlook Express uses the term Rules, but a Rule and a Filter are the same thing.

In the New Mail Rule window you will need to follow steps 1 through 4.

Under the first section, 1. Select the conditions for your rule
Select which conditions you want to use as the basis of this filter. Choose Where the Subject line contains specific words to block all messages with "[SPAM" in the Subject field, so that all messages tagged by the anti-spam system will be moved to a SPAMBOX folder that you will create later.
In the second box, 2. Select the Action for your rule
Check the box Move it to the specified folder
In each section you can check one or more boxes, depending on what you are trying to accomplish
As you are checking off your criteria, you will notice that blue keywords will pop up in box 3. Rule Description
Click the blue keywords to enter your specific criteria for the rule
You can enter multiple keywords in the same rule
Enter each keyword or phrase and click Add
For this rule, just enter SPAM, in all caps
Click OK to return to the New Mail Rule window
Under 2. Select the Actions for you Rule, put a check in the box Move it to the Specified folder
Click the blue keywords in box #3 to change specified folder to SPAMBOX
You will probably have to create a new folder, or you can use any of your existing folders
Give your rule a Name
Click OK
