I have set up message rules and I am still getting 70 to 80 at a time, I
contacted freeserve whos response was that it is nothing to do with them and
to set up a new email address, so have I just got to live with this or can
someone tell me to put in the message rule that delete these, it takes ages
for my mail to come through, to delete these manually

Thanks

By using message rules you can automatically delete from the server and not
download:
Copied from Help in Outlook Express (Message Rules)

To create a rule for e-mail messages

1.. On the Tools menu, point to Message Rules, and then click Mail.
Message rules cannot be created for IMAP or HTTP e-mail accounts.

2.. If this is the first rule you are creating, proceed to step 3.
Otherwise, on the Mail Rules tab, click New and proceed to step 4.
3.. Select the conditions for your rule by selecting the desired check
boxes in the Conditions section. (You must select at least one condition.)
You can specify multiple conditions for a single rule by selecting more
than one check box. Click the and hyperlink in the Rule Description section
to specify whether all of the rule conditions must be met before the
specified action occurs (and), or whether at least one must be met (or).

4.. Specify the actions for your rule by selecting the desired check boxes
in the Actions section. (You must select at least one condition.)
5.. Click the underlined hyperlinks in the Rule Description section to
specify the conditions or actions for your rule.
You can click contains people or contains specific words in the Rule
Description section to specify the people or words you'd like Outlook
Express to look for in messages. If you enter multiple people or multiple
words per condition, use the Options button in the Select People or Type
Specific Words dialog boxes to further customize the condition.

6.. In the Name of the rule text box, select the default name or type a
new name for your rule, and then click OK.
Notes

a.. You can create a new rule by selecting an existing one on the Message
Rules tab and clicking Copy. This is helpful when the new rule you want to
create is similar to an existing one.
b.. You can create a rule from a message by selecting an e-mail message in
the main window and then on the Message menu clicking Create Rule from
Message. This helps by automatically filling in the name of the person on
the From line; no other information from the message, however, is entered
into the rule.

I just re-did my Rules. I don't have that many wanted senders, so I created
two "not" rules via the Options button in the pane where I entered what I
wanted to receive. Got only one message this AM--a wanted one :)
