18. Thanks much - yes, I did look at it. It sounds like essentially making a huge white list

and everything else goes to junk email folder. Intriguing, but I don't know how I feel about that yet. If I don't keep unsubscribing from those email mailing lists, each one with once-a-day or worse emails, I could end up with a huge huge junk email folder. In addition, any email not on my white list but that may be important would get sent there too -- and basically be buried amongst all the junk and I might miss it. I see a lot of constant white list maintenance.

Plus there are issues with Outlook 2010 not filtering by email address all that reliably.

You can set Outlook to display mail only from people you email and the ones you designate as safe senders. Outlook's junk email filter automatically considers your contacts to be safe senders, and anything that is not from one of those senders is sent to the junk email folder. The filter can be customized to suit your preferences.

But I'll be looking at it some more. Thanks again
