I want to create a filter for Yahoogroup emails that I receive. Specifically I
want to be able to mark my own emails that I post to the group as "read" and to
move them to the deleted items folder.
I created one that filters on specific text in the recipient's email address.
ie. part of my email address. Then I filtered on specific text in the subject
field, which is the group that is inserted into the subject text.
I then tell the filter to "delete it". There's a "delete permanently" option.
I'm assuming that the first one merely moves it to the Deleted Items folder. If
so, that's good. At least then I can see if it's working properly before I
change to delete permanently.
It'll be a while before I can see if it's working as it's quiet on weekends. But
should the above filter work?
Thanks.

I've got spams going into the Deleted Items folder which have the "delete"
option set in the rule. They show up in the folder list as having unread
messages in there.
I can't find how to make sure that it marks them as read. In any case I changed
the setting from "delete" to "permanently delete". I'll see how that goes.
I have two rules. One for spam. My ISP's mail server inserts "[SPAM]" into a
subject header when it detects spam. The rule looks for this text string in the
header and then applies the rule.
The other rule is to delete my posts to a yahoogroup mailing list. I don't want
to receive my own messages and there doesn't appear to be any setting in the
Yahoogroup to allow this to occur. So I apply a rule.
It was this rule that I was asking you guys about.

Unfortunately the filter doesn't work. I am still receiving my own posts to that
Yahoogroup in Outlook.
It'd be handy if the Yahoogroup had an option "do not receive own posts".
Another one. How do I filter on domains based on country?
In the filter rules if I enter a domain it asks for the whole domain such as
spamalot.com.it or spammers_r_us.co.uk or spammed.com.nl.
I'd like to be able to filter purely on the .nl, .ru, .it etc. domains but it
won't let me.
I've created a rule to filter on specific text.
eg:
".ru" or ".nl"
as it appears in the dialog box. I don't know if this will work, though.

That appears to be for a whole domain. I want to filter on the country suffix,
not just the domain.
ie. ALL domains from Russia, the Netherlands, etc. to be filtered on.

That's another way. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to view the headers.
Outlook doesn't make it easy to do even the simplest things for those such as
myself who aren't rocket scientists.
I'll keep on looking.
