Tip of the week: Getting rid of unwanted e-mails
Areyou getting lots of what you consider unsolicited e-mail — ‘junk’ that you’re not interested in?
There’s two ways to really help stop it from cramming your inbox.
The first is to turn on Microsoft’s automatic junk mail filter. It has a predefined set of criteria (you can find it under filter.txt).
Once the filter is on, any time a new unwanted e-mail arrives in your inbox, right click on it and select ‘add to junk mail filter’.
By repeating this process, you can effectively eliminate much of your unwanted e-mails within a few weeks.
To turn the filter on in Outlook 2000:
* Click Inbox.
* Click Organise.
* Click Junk E-mail.
* Select the options you want by clicking the down arrow next to each box in the first bulleted item.
* Click Turn on.
Instead of deleting the junk e-mails immediately, I suggest moving them to a junk mail folder that you create, so you can give it a once over to ensure nothing legit has fallen in by accident. You can also have it colour the messages.
