Suggestion: A way to apply rules BEFORE junk email filter is appli

[Firewalker]

Please create a way to apply rules to incoming email BEFORE it gets
sent to the Junk Email folder. -OR- Make a way to apply rules to email
that has already been sent to the junk email folder.

What I'd like to be able to do is have obvious X-rated emails (one's that
have specific language in the subject) permanently deleted, instead of being
sent to the junk email folder where I have to see the language before
deleting it manually.

I know I could turn off the Junk filter and have a ton of rules to do the
same thing, but that sort of defeats the purpose of the junk filter, not to
mention being a serious pain in the backside creating all those rules.

Doing so could also cause messages to be moved out of the Junk Email folder
and be placed back into your mail folders. This way it would appear that the
Junk Email Filter isn't working.

If you want to directly delete some emails you might also want to consider
logging into your webbased mailbox and enable junk-email filtering there for
x-rated content. This will also reduce the amount of junk emails that you
have to download.

That's true. If it ran all your "move to" rules, it would definately cause a
problem, but I wouldn't want ALL rules to apply to this, but only specfic
rules.
Maybe if they added something like in the "Step 1:Select Condition(s)" area,
put a setting like "Apply this rule before the Junk E-Mail Filter runs" -OR-
even one like "apply this rule to specific folders" and then select the Junk
E-mail folder.
OR even a "delete message directly from server" option.

I'd try your suggestion, but my email's web-based interface doesn't have a
junk e-mail filter.
I don't want to spend more $$ for something like Norton's Antispam just to
do something that IMO outlook should be configuable enough to be able to
perform.

Before I purchased Office 2007, I used a email program called Incredimail
for email, and even it (and it was only $50 for a lifetime license) would
allow a rule to delete a message directly from the server before it was
downloaded.

Doing so could also cause messages to be moved out of the Junk Email folder
and be placed back into your mail folders. This way it would appear that the
Junk Email Filter isn't working.

Or the option "Apply this rule before the Junk E-mail Filter" instead of
only when "receiving" or "sending" ;-)

If you look at the network traffic you would see that Incredimail actually
does download the message in full first otherwise in cannot check against
the properties to delete it.
