If you are talking about Outlook (the mail client shipped with MS Office), I can only recommend you get yourself a REAL mail reader.
If you are talking about Outlook Express, I can only say RTFM, or look at the tools menu. There you will find a 'Message Rules' item. With that you have have a quite good set of message filters. Also, in the message menu (next to the tools menu), there is an item called 'Create rule from message...'. Guess what that does. Next time, RTFM before you bash a nice product (if you are talking about Outlook Express that is).
