How can I set my email rules to run everyday to automatically?

I get a hundred junk emails a day now. Many of them our filthy. I have done
every thing I can think of in setting up my email rules to send them directly
to my deleted files, but I have to do it every day..... What am I doing
wrong?.... When I set my rules up, I check the box that specifies the words
in the subject line or body, (like sex, cheap watches). I then say
permanently delete it. I give the rule a name, and then I check the run rule
now and turn on rule, then I say finish. Let every day I have to run the
rules every day to get them to run. This includes going into tools, and then
rules and alert, say run rules now, AND THEN I HAVE TO CHECK each and every
box that I made a rule for, example emails that say sex, or cheap watches for
sale.) Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? Or have a different way
of stopping some of these emails. I also say, block email from this sender.
But it doesn't seem to do any good. Example, I keep getting one that acts
like it's from PayPal, but it's not. I've said many times, block this email
from sender list, but they come every day. Help!! Thanks!! ~Judy~

Don't use Rules. Use Junk Mail Filters instead. You can block everything
except your Contacts or approved list. Look up Junk Mail in Help. Also, Rules
don't work on Web mail. Sounds like you have might have a web mail acct. Use
the blockers at the web site for Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.
