I am looking for a POP3 email plugin (solution) with Windows Live Mail that will do specific wildcard domain-ending filtering. Specifically I want to filter and initially move to a temporary folder and eventually delete outright all email with domains _ending_ with all foreign country domain designators and the many new endings like: .top, .date, .local, .download, .science, etc.
Still using Windows 7 and unwilling to migrate to Windows 10 yet--so don't try that--but I doubt Windows 10 would offer an exclusive solution anyway. Maybe only if I changed my address to use gmail or msn webmail accounts?
Using Windows Live Mail which will only block full domains (no wildcards). I would consider other email programs.
The best wildcard filtering I can think of would be a filter rule that would delete outright all email domain endings that were not: .com, .org, .edu, .gov, .net --period. So those domain endings would be all that I would see in my Inbox. Currently it looks like some days well over 50%--maybe 75%--of my email comes from unsolicited sources. Even if I can limit my email to these five legitimate endings many of these will need to be conventionally identified as SPAM.
It would be wonderful if my local ISP would fix the filtering they offer in their webmail. What I'm looking for actually exists there but it is all broken and my ISP Support seems unwilling and incapable of getting this fixed--a great disappointment.
I wish a 3rd party program would go even further and automatically bounce back to the sender any unsolicited unwanted email too.
Frankly I don't think any local client programs exist to do what I'm looking for. Even if Outlook, for instance, can filter out a wildcard domain it puts it into a designated spam folder where all other potential spam goes effectively blocking it from the Inbox but then one must still sift through the spam folder looking for something misdirected before you manually or automatically delete folder contents.
Oh well, let's see what this generates...
