Can I set Outlook Express to ignore people not in my contacts?

That rule is handy for a while. However the new contacts that I added in my address book after I applied that rule will be treated as junk mail too as the rule applied previously did not contain the new contacts that I added in. So I actually need to modify the rule again with the updated address book. Is there any way of making the rule to automaticaly update with the address book?? Thanks you.

outlook or outlook express?

Outlook express.

Sadly, no. I know of no way to automatically update the rule in Outlook Express. In Outlook you can just say "the address book", and it works automatically. But not on OE.

Thanks you. =)

In OE. to update the rule click Tools > Message Rules > Mail. Then click the list of email addresses, then you can either type in additional emails, or select them from the addressbook.

What about if you have more than one adress book? It appears I'm only able to do it with one? is there a way around this (outlook 2002)

Why is Outlook Express the only server that will
not allow THE CONTACTS IN ADDRESS BOOK ONLY to
work in E-Mail.
I think they ought to up date the systeem, It would avoid many many Problems with the wrong people getting into our Computer.

In Outlook 2003, click Actions..Junk Email..Junk Email Options. In the Options tab, select Safe Lists Only, uncheck Permanently delete suspected junk, and check Don't turn on links. In the Safe Senders tab, check Also trust e-mail from my Contacts and check Automatically add people I e-mail. Now your white list is completely safe. Remember to check your junk mail and add address to the safe senders list if you do want email from those particular addresses.

My sister is e-mailing and it isn't coming to me, but she is able to e-mail others. How can I look to see if it is going into my junk or spam folder. I have outlook express 2004
