Outlook Express How to Create a Whitelist

You may wish to be selective as to whom you receive E‐Mails from, well you can quite easily.

When you want to be able to only receive email from specific people, itʹs called Whitelisting.

You can create a Whitelist in Outlook Express by using its Message Rules function.

Hereʹs how: ‐

In Outlook Express

Select Tools

Select Message Rules,

Then Mail.

Click the New button.

In the list of conditions, place a check/tick in the box labeled:‐

ʺWhere the From line contains people.ʺ

Under Rule Description, click the link ʺContains people.ʺ

Click the Address Book button.

Add the people from your address book that you wish to allow to send you mail,

Click OK to close the Address book.

Select the Options button.

Under ʺApply rule if,ʺ

Select ʺMessage does not contain the people below.ʺ

Click OK.

Now under ʺSelect the Actions for your rule,ʺ

You can choose either to place a check/tick the box that says:‐

ʺDelete itʺ

Or, you could be more cautious so create a folder called Quarantine

Now place a check/tick in ʺMove it to the specified folder.ʺ

That way, you can check the messages to be deleted in case there is mail there that you want to get.
