Outlook Express does have that option available.

However there are not as many as in full version of Outlook... Hence the name Outlook EXPRESS

go to
Tools/Message rules/Mail

set up your rules.

Spam always find a way through doesn't it...

You can try a spam blocker but you have to pay for those most of the time...
