You cannot block any e-mails with Outlook. Outlook will ALWAYS
download all e-mails (unless you configure it to only download the
headers and not the bodies in which case you will have to mark which
messages you want to download and then separately and manually decide
to download them). That means all e-mails, even ones that you choose
to permanently delete, will be completely downloaded into Outlook
before any rules are applied. Outlook does have the equivalent
"delete from server" rule clause that is in Outlook Express - because
Outlook gets the e-mail whereas Outlook Express can first retrieve the
headers only.
You will need to define a rule in Outlook that deletes whatever
e-mails are not captured by prior rules. So why don't you define a
rule that checks if the sender is in your address book (Contacts
folder) rather than having to manually update a Safe Senders list?
You create a rule similar to:
[Permanently] delete all e-mails
except if sender is in <addressbook>
stop processing
Outlook does not let you specify more than one address book per rule.
If you have multiple address books, you will need to separate the
deletion into a separate catch-all rule after all the prior whitelist
rules have filtered in the e-mails that you want to keep in your
Inbox, like:
If sender is in <addressbook_1>
stop processing
If sender is in <addressbook_2>
stop processing
....
[Permanently] delete all e-mails
