Rules Wizard - Limit Inbox to Contacts Only

[Jim Y.]

Hello,

Is there a way to define a Rule so that only email from my Contacts will be sent to my Inbox?

That is:

if (not in Contact List)
then
move to Junk Mail
end if

How do other people handle this type of thing?

Thanks for any help on this.

Jim

Which version of Outlook? Outlook 2003 supports it - I don't recall in Ol2002 had it, look at the bottom of the Rules wizard's Step 1 for the option. I don't believe earlier versions do.
