Stop processing rules (Outlook 2000 Exchange)

[Howard Brazee]

I have Outlook 2000 Exchange. On my PC I have a bunch of anti-spam rules, but
they often catch legitimate e-mails.

Unfortunately, I can't whitelist whatever is currently in all of my contacts,
but I can find partial e-mail addresses and create a rule that simply says "stop
processing more rules".


But this doesn't work.

I suspect this may be because some rules apply on the server, and some on my PC,
but I don't really know which are which.


Fortunately, I have another unsolved problem that counters this problem a bit.
My "you've got mail" envelope shows up even when I have no unread e-mail in my
in-box. So I go to my deleted box and find an unread message (can I sort by
read and unread?), to turn off this envelope. This is when I check and
discover false positives.

Occasionally there are no unread messages in my deleted box, so I send myself an
e-mail so I can read it which turns off this notification.

Sort By Icon. See the Button(looks like a sheet of paper) over
"envelope" on the left in the list of e-mails. Well just click it, and
it will segregate to read and unread.

That didn't help much. After a while, I got it sorted, but still had to page
down a long distance to find the unread deleted messages. Actually one was an
unsent message that I created. It wasn't anywhere near the one that my spam
filter deleted.

I just want a quick way to glance at the spam that I filtered so I wouldn't have
to look at - so that the "you've got mail" envelope stops telling me I've got
mail.

I suppose what I need to do is spend money and find a third part spam filter
that works with my Outlook 2000 that is configured to use my Outlook Exchange
server. Except most of these simply pass on an indicator to tell my e-mail
program that this is SPAM, and I still need to delete it and tell the "you've
got mail" envelope to shut up.
