Tom,
If you aren't bound to Outlook for the contact manager and are really only
using it for e-mail, try Eudora instead. Great filtering tools - supports
regular expressions in filters to really clobber the nasty stuff.
I have about 150 filters which keep my world well organized. My filter
accuracy rate is about 99.99% now - no crap gets through, though I may have
it easier than you as I simply have a rule that certain TLD's, like .cn or
.ru etc.. are simply trashed as I don't have clients there, so I have no
need to filter beyond that.
Eudora and all my mailboxes with thousands of messages fits on a 256mb USB
flash memory stick. Since Eudora doesn't install anything meaningful in the
Windows registry it can be run off the USB stick on any Windows machine.
Stick it in your pocket and travel. You can buy USB sticks that are password
or biometric protected to keep prying eyes out.
