No I will keep the versions I have.

I am using the version before the hotmail but it has no ads so hewee is happy. I did not pay for it so can't get the upgrade to the pro for free but from looking at the web site I don't see what more I would get. But there older free ones did just about all what the pro does.

Looks like some better things coming if you get spam or lots of it.

I tried Styxx's White List for dealing with spam. After adding everyone in my address book that I wanted the results were not what I expected. I could see their e-mail addresses listed in the rule as "does not contain" and their e-mail addresses separated by 'or'. But when I pressed "Apply Now" some of the messages stayed in my Inbox as I had wanted but some whose e-mail addresses were in the white list were moved to the folder I created called "Spam".

Why would the rule work on some of the entries, but not all the e-mail addresses I had in the same rule?

Lightbulb RE: Trouble-shooting
Dear rudman:

Please see the following printable attachment of the rule I posted earlier slightly modified.

I think you may be composing the rule out of step is why it's not working for you previously. Please delete any rules you may have composed earlier; close then restart Outlook Express and use this one.

Private message me if you're still having trouble composing this modified one, OK?

You have to click the OK button before clicking the Apply Now button. If the rule has the box next to it ticked to activate the rule, there would be no need to click the Apply Now button again.
