I would like to limit my incoming mail to people in my address book. Is there a way to do this without manually going through each message and assigning it to a different folder? Thank you.

Create a filter with the rule From + isn't in my address book + Personal Address Book (or choose another) and an Action, 'Move message to' (choose the folder).
