Block Sender not working for Windows Live mail

19. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

I have Windows XP on my desk top and use Outlook Express 6 ( which I love) . In Outlook Express 6 ,  I've added certain email accts. to my Blocked Senders List. ( tools, message rules, blocked senders list) . when I receive emails from these accts they go into my "Delete " messages , which is where I want them to go . This is just the way I want these emails from the accts to be set up .

On Windows Live Mail , which I have on my laptop , I've put these same emails address on my Blocked Senders list ( options, safety options , blocked senders )  and it doesn't work ,  I still get  the  emails in my normal emails .  Since this didn't work  I also put them   on  Nortons  360  premier  ( settings ,anti-spam , blocked list ) but they still come to my normal email  with ( Norton Anti-Spam ) before the Email Subject ) ,  NOT to my  Junk  email  or  my  Delete Email  ( as  in  Outlook Express 6 ) .   Help

Being Blocked

03. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
Hello,

An email domain i have configured is blocked by Hotmail. It is not blocked by any other provider nor is it on any  block sender list. I have all relevant SPF records, reverse DNS and  matching banners yet we are still blocked. the domain is feast.org.au.

What can we do to become unblocked by Hotmail?

Thanks

Why can’t I get Live Mail to Block Senders that I designate??

When I go to Block Sender in Live Mail, it only sends that one message to Junk.  All subsequent messages from that sender are not blocked automatically.  Help!

Sweep function not working properly.

Have input sender's name, a word or two from the subject, and have also put in block sender's list. Unfortunely, their email addresses change daily. If I go to Web site of every address , which is half a page, the only choice is to unsubscribe which I  won't do.  Some of the subjects have an icon in front of the text and at end of subject, but not all..  How many filters can be put into the sweep function????  The problem has nothing to do with the browsers I use..

I'll gladly send a list of all blocked so far concening this Email plus the headers but can't get those in view source because I only get my address and lots of lines of jibberish...

Please read above carefully

Spam filtering: When are tgoing to let us disable this pointless feature?

I'm sure I speak for millions of others when I request that the spam filtering in Hotmail be able to be disabled.  Its doesn't work.  It constantly grabs legit email and sends it to Junk.  And what is incredibly short sighted is that I can't retrieve Junk folder messages by POP.  If I could it wouldn't be such a problem.  But for most of us that have used POP, we realize its superiority to webmail and dread having to use our browser to retrieve email as its so slow and cumbersome. 

So either allow Junk to be retrieved by POP or allow us to disable this useless feature.  

And there should be buttons that say BLOCK SENDER and BLOCK SUBJECT and BLOCK SUBJECT WORD (like Viagra, enhancement, ciallis, etc) so filtering stuff doesn't take 20 clicks with a mouse.  Its not as if you don't have room on the page.  Or right click a message and pick from a bunch of filtering options.  The point is make spam quick to filter.
