The Day Outlook Saved my Sanity.

So Google saved my life, and now Outlook saved my sanity.

I'm getting spammed big time by a few websites. As a virtual assistant, I'm all for learning. Learning new skills, new secrets, new tools, so I signed up on a few different websites to receive a free ebook and a free newsletter, and two of them are sending me, seriously, 3 emails a day. It's annoying. It's spam. I clicked the unsubscribe button but it just took me to a blank page. I had to email them directly to get taken off their lists, but I'm still getting emails. ARGH. Perhaps they just didn't get the emails yet, that could be it.

Either way, I found a delightful tool in Outlook Express.

Go to Tools, Message Rules and the click on Blocked Senders List. Just type in their email address and voila! Their emails go directly to the Deleted file.

Got any tips and tricks for Outlook Express? Feel free to leave a comment!
