Unfortunately, that won't work for the prisoners of Earthstink.
After deleting, I get "Cannot find server" messages. And this after
a couple weeks of bitching.

how do you get them to go to the deleted box? i try creating rules and

Unless you can block attachments over X amount at the server end, it's
useless as it will fill up your box on their server in no time. You need
to
BITCH to your ISP and if they say there is nothing they can do, get
another
ISP. My ISP (bellsouth.net) has blocked all of this crap so far.

I guess you could set up a mail reader to download mail every few minutes
and delete any mail with attachments over 125K. You might miss a little
stuff but at least you won't have to deal with manually deleting
everything. Again write some hate mail to MS as this is THEIR FAULT for
making such an insecure by default OS.

Yes, I downloaded Mailwasher and it works just slick!!

Ive been getting Flooding with this MS patch stuff the last 2 weeks, I get at
least 10 a day, Im going to try Mailwasher, AOL is NO help what so ever..
Thanks, Randy..

By the way, in support of the recommendation of Mozilla,
Mozilla has a junk filter tool that really works. I set
it up to put junk mail into a separate folder that I can
look over to check for false positives and then either
empty out manually or I can set Mozilla itself to toss
junk mail after as many days as I want to set it for.

After training the filter on a few initial samples, it has
been flawless. I haven't found any swen postings in my Inbox
for the last few days, with well over a hundred tossed
into the Junk folder.

I recomend mozilla. Free download and works identical for all purposes
except it's not a virus magnet. Even has an import utility which after you
use and find everything working I would UNINSTALL outlook express
altogether. BTW after you use the web browser, you might give up on IE as
well! It's a shame you can't uninstall IE as well but MS made sure you
couldn't do that..

LOL!

Actually, MICROSOFT is a virus in and of itself. I work on an a REAL computer
(IBM mainframe), and it makes Microsoft look like $hit.
