Outlook Rules Wizard

[Doug]

Have a question regarding e-mail receipts. I have
applied rules wizard to screen unwanted e-mails. I have
entered the word, such as "SPAM", to be screened. If
found in the subject or body of the e-mail, it is to be
deleted from the ISP server before it is ever downloaded
to my computer. Occassionally I will get the
message, "You don't have appropriate permission to
perform this operation", and the message will get
through. I will then go in rules wizard and my rule box
will be unchecked. I will have to re-check it to re-
activate the rule. How can I make this rule stick
without these unwanted e-mails getting through?
Thanks,
Doug

The rules wizard acts upon the local machine only. It is
a client process. Try going to your ISP mail via webmail
or whatever online process they have. Most ISP's have the
ability to set rules that act on the server before they
are downloaded to your PC. (I know Mediacom does).
