Outlook Express allows you to control the destination of incoming email based on several different user defined criteria which are implemented using rules. One of these "Rules" takes all messages with a certain word or words in the subject line and sends them to a specified folder. You can use this rule to take all messages with [BULK-?] in the subject line and delete them or send them to a SPAM folder that you can create. This will help keep your Inbox less cluttered with unwanted email. You can check your SPAM folder once a day or so to quickly see if there are any emails of interest to you. Then you can clean out this folder by deleting all the emails.

 

setup procedure
  1. Open up Outlook Express. At the top, click on Tools then Message Rules then Mail as shown below.



  2. Under 1. Select the Conditions for your rule: check the box labeled Where the subject line contains specific words. Next look under 2. Select the Actions for your rule: and check Delete it. (If you wish to move the messages to a SPAM folder, select Move it to the specified folder).
    Under 3. Rule Description click on contains specific words



  3. Beneath Type specific words or a phrase type in the spam type you wish to control ([BULK-L], [BULK-M], [BULK-H], etc).
    In this example we will filter out the highly-likely spam, [BULK-H]
    Click on the Add button.
    Click on the OK button.



  4. You should now see the rule you just created.
    If you wish to disable a rule, simply uncheck the box next to the rule.
    Click on the OK button.



    Now all messages that arrive in your inbox, that have [BULK-H] in the subject, will be deleted.
