Would be most grateful for help with automatically deleting emails (as they arrive) from something called 'Google Cash Machine'.
I've tried setting up rules (Microsoft Outlook) but they seem to get past!.
Many thanks
Cron.

Thanks S, it's Outlook, not Outlook Express.

You could try reporting it as spam to your ISP. I'm guessing you didn't subscribe or in other ways reveal your email address to this scam merchant? (Scam is what google says about it when searched.) (ironic, really.)

I use OE at home for internet mail, and Outlook (2003) at work.
On my Outlook client, it is configured to use an Exchange Server, so I suspect that there would be some differences in the rules that can be set up.
But Outlook has both client and server-side rules. Assuming that only client-side rules are appropriate in your case, you need to define and configure the rule, then apply it. When I do so, my Inbox is Microsoft Exchange Server - I assume that your inbox points to that associated with your mail account?
You should be able to test by "Running Now" in the appropriate folder.

Thanks S, I'm client side rules only. Right clicking and selecting 'add sender to blocked sender list' doesn't work because O'look can't find an email address.
The rule I susequently set up first deleted everything in my inbox and then came up with an error. Looks like they thought of everything. I'll keep trying (somebody send me an email with 'Google Cash Machine' as the title).

Surely you can create a rule with "Google Cash Machine" in the subject by yourself?
And I know your name isn't Shirley...
