Can anyone tell me if there is a way to set up my account so that I only get
emails from people that I approve? My friend uses MSN and is able to do
this, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me! I am tired of having to
go the "block sender" route and would like to set up a list of approved
address.

Help!!! This is driving me crazy...the junk emails are killing me!!!

:)

Thanks!

What if I do not have the junk mail tab you are talking about? Is that the
only way to do it? I currently have OE 6.

Thanks! :)
 
Kirsten,

Set the Junk Email filter to only accept email from people that are defined
on your safe list. You can set this up by going to Tools - Options.

Kind Regards,
 
Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.
