Vista - message rule

I have a crazy question. In the message rules :
under " Select one or more conditions ", I choose " where the From line
contains people "
under " Select one or more actions ", I choose " Do not download from server
", or " Delete it from server "
Then I would enter the name(s) of people.
Will this message rule effectively become " Block senders " option without
the bother of emptying Junk folder ?

It's tough to say. Never tried this.
Message rules only work on the client and not on the server, so in order for
the rule to kick in, it has to be downloaded to the client, however since
you are stating "delete from server" and "do not download" it should infact
act as a "block senders" as you stated.

Sort of.

Do not download would leave the messages on the mail server. So you'd
have to go to web mail to delete them.

Also put any such rules at the top of your rules with any others with an
action of do not download or delete from server. Otherwise a prior rule
might cause messages to get download before this rule could get
applied.
