Most email clients are capable of filtering incoming mail by subject, sender, and other fields. I note that you are using MS Outlook and I have absolutely no experience with that program, but any email client I've used in the past several years has allowed filtering in some manner. My personal favourite email client is Sylpheed (which is available for both Linux and Windows -- you can find a pre-compiled Sylpheed rpm for Centos 5 and Centos 6 on my website if you're interested) and it can easily be used to filter and sort email by just about any field that you choose to use. With Sylpheed, you can set it up to filter "Sender=Whoever" to "Trash" or "Delete from Server" if you want. Just look under the Configuration - Filter Settings menu; it's pretty self-explanatory. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!
