Re: OT: how to easily identify posts coming from this list

["Vir Calimlim" <virbcal hotmail com>]

the way i see it, the "Message Rule" works only with POP3* server but as you
can see, i have a hotmail account which uses HTTP. message filtering (spam &
non-spam only) is done at the hotmail site and does not use those of OE's.

i used to download my emails from yahoo when their pop3 service was still
free. there used to be mailandnews and turbosport but they've both closed
shop. i'm hesitant to transfer to new (untested by time) web email sites
that provides free pop3 service with the anxiety that they might close shop
as well sooner or later.

*  POP3 email services give you mailbox space on a server, from where you
can retrieve your email using an email client such as Outlook Express or
Eudora.
