Emails with a date in the future

Guest

I have been recieving emails dated for 2007. Is there any way i can stop
these emails from being downloaded to my inbox? This is rather annoying as i
sort my emails by date, therefore i have to search through my inbox for an
email that arrives with the current date.

Please someone help me with this, i know most of this is Spam ( If not all
of it ) and i am just getting fed up with having to go through my inbox
looking for genuine emails. i know i can setup rules for keywords, but is
there a way to tell it not to download an email dated in the future?

No, as Outlook cannot scan anything for something that hasn't been
downloaded yet. Doesn't your Junk E-mail Fiter catch these mails already?
How many do you receive? If you delete them directly (it is spam after all)
why do you have to search your mailbox? New mails should still be at the
top.

Because i sort my emails by date it always displays the most recent date
first even though we have not reached the date stamped on the email. Its just
that i am migrating all 8 email accounts accross to a new laptop and wondered
if there was a way to create a "Rule" for checking the dates. I will setup
other rules based on the "Subject" matter to remove most of the spam i just
need to stop these "Future Date" emails from reaching my inbox.
