My Block Sender is greyed out in Outlook Express so I can't block any
messages how do I fix it? Any ideas??

Thanks,

Hi Marlene

The Block Sender function in Outlook Express is limited to POP3 email
servers. Hotmail servers are not POP3, so no 'Block Sender' for Hotmail
inside Outlook Express.

Workaround: You can configure 'Block Sender' for your Hotmail via your
browser:

1. log into hotmail: http://hotmail.msn.com

2. Navigate to your Inbox on the hotmail page

3. In the list of messages in your Inbox, select the message you wish to
create a 'block sender' rule for.

4. On the Hotmail tools menu click on the 'Block Sender' function.

This should hold for future messages from that sender.
