Default Block Senders List

Find and remove a Blocked Sender address:

OEToolsMessage RulesBlocked Senders ListHighlight the first address on
the listClick ModifyType in address you want to remove. "This address
already exists, are you sure you want to replace it?"Click Yes. Address
will now be at the top of the list. Now you can remove it.

Note: The address that was at the top of the list will also be removed, so
you might want to copy it to re-enter.

Dear Bruce,
Hopefully you can help me also.
I use the Block Sender List a lot. However, recently I miss-listed a few
senders I don't want blocked. Fine, I go to remove them from the list,
and
since the list is enormous due to so much spam, I can't easily find the
addresses I am looking for.
So I try to hit the tab above the sender addresses, like in the inbox, to
have it alphabetize the list to help me find what I am looking for, but
zilch. No effect. Now I have been slowly trying to find these addresses
in
the list and haven't found them, surely cause I have missed them. How can
I
streamline this process as it has become tedious. I have also had to go
to
the deleted emails box to "rescue" these important emails that were put
there
due to their Blocked setting. I even tried the rules section to thwart
the
error but still of no effect. It's a good but long working function, but
also a bit limited. How do I do this.
Thanks in advance.

The registry key has become corrupt.

1.. In Regedit, navigate to this key:

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Identities
|--------{GUID}
|-----------Software
|--------------Microsoft
|-----------------Outlook Express
|--------------------5.0

where GUID is the Global Unique IDentifier for your Identity.

2.. Under that key, you will find the following sub-keys, among
others:

|-----------------------Block Senders
|-----------------------Rules
|-----------------------Signatures

Select the Block Senders Key and delete it. Blocked Senders will be
empty,
but you can rebuild it now.
