Resolved Can't block unwanted E-mail sender

I can click on "block sender' tab and just keep geting Mail from them. The Block senders tab has a red circle with a slash mark. does this mean a problem with this feature? If so, please advise. I am 79 yars old and just got windiws 7 installed. Windows 7 is much different to XP.

 

Kindly indicate, if you are using outlook email (2007/2010/2013) or Gmail / yahoo mail.

Thanks.

 

I am usnig Outlook. I don't know which version. i did not install it, I used Google and it said Micrsoft office 2007. Hope this is what you need. Thanks

 

Hello,

When you do "block Sender" , their email will go to "junk e-mail" folder.

Please refer the link to get steps for configuring junk emails and how to "block" senders : http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/handling-junk-mail-in-outlook-2007-HA010232591.aspx

Alternatively, you can configure a rule such that emails from particular sender will be deleted.

I would suggest to just "block" rather that configuring "delete" rule . But let me know if you need assistance with the rules.

Good Luck.

 

thank you so much. sounds like that will work.I'll check it out. With the help from this forum I am slowly learning aboit the innards of a computer. I serviced appliances and HVAC for 40 years . they are much easier. I hope i don't have to bug you again soon. MERRY CHRISTMAS. CBUMPKIN PROBLEM SOLVED

 

Hi cbumpkin, Go to the top of your thread > Thread Tools > click on it and click on Resolved. Thanks Neil.

 

Neil.I'm sorrry. I thought when i went to thread tools and the bottom space had a check mark in it ment the problem was solved. so guess I am supposed to click it twice? forgive the old man for not thoroughly understand the rule about found the info. about the motherboard etc. but I can't cut and paste it to "my system" in my profile. Thanks again. Johnny

 

Johny,
Am sure it is fascinating and encouraging for all the members to see the 'old man' being curious and willing to learn new technologies. A very rare quality for people @ age of 79 !

Keep learning and posting your queries !

 

Neil. I have parkinsons desease but above my waist i am as strong as ever, except an occasional cace of brain lock.my lower extrimities wont fuction properly. I canr walk on unlevel ground. I can still cut my lawn with a riding mower. So I just enjoy my computer and teach Masonic work. I am a 50 year mason. My Grand is getting me some kind of laptop fo Christmas. You and I may have some problems then Bed time in A.. Good nightl

 

Congratulations, Johnny! It does me good to see older folks willing to lean new technology. My aunt is 73, and she is learning how to operate a Windows 8 laptop.

I realize I make lots of mistakes but I am trying to learn more and do better.you people in the forum have be a great help to me and very nice I have read the forum rules several times and try to abide by them but sometimes i forget to mark PROBLEM RESOLVED. Best wishes, Johnny
