    Tools, Message Rules, Blocked Senders List.

    That will automatically send them to your deleted Items folder is all it will do.

    I reccommend the program below. Deals with unwanted mail right on the ISP server. Never download spam to Outlook Express at all. Even bounce a lot of it back.

    Get the latest stable version. Beta versions tend to be buggy.

    You might also want to check with your ISP and see if they have any options for addressing Spam. Some ISP's take this problem seriously and have come up with different solutions for their customers. For example my ISP offers a Spam service that each customer can sign up for. The service allows you to block what the ISP's program considers to be Spam and either have it saved in an on-line mailbox so you can check it later if you like, or you can select to have the message bounced back to the sender as an invalid address. I have set the spam threshold at 6 in their program, which is pretty low, and it stops about 98% of the spam from ever reaching my in-box.
