Lack of Sender Blocking ... WHY?

[Nut Cracker]

In the good old days of Outlook Express, I could block a sender in usenet
groups, and the result would be that messages from them would not be shown
to me. I have not figured out how to get this same behavior from Vista Mail.
I have added the sender to some kind of blocked list, but their messages are
still visible.

What am i doing wrong, or is this just not possible with VM at this time?

Thanks,

NuTs

I experienced the same issue.
It is definitely a WinMail bug.

Blocking prevents future messages from arriving. It does nothing for those
you already downloaded.

If you go to Tools | Message Rules you can create a rule. You can then
choose to implement it immediately. It will scour your existing messages and
then prevent future messages from being downloaded.

might be easier to create a rule to mark them as read and use a view to hide read messages.
