Hi,

Is it possible to block a HOTMAIL sender sending to an Outlook (normal)
address.......

What I mean is will it work in the Outlook rules so that Outlook
automatically deletes an email form a specified Hotmail account?

Thanks -

A quick response will be appreciated....
 
Hi,

You need to create a new rule in outlook. Don't use the rule templates,
create your rule from scratch. Before creating the rule you will need to
record the hotmail account as a personal contact so that it can be added to
the rule.

If you mean all hotmail accounts, then that might be trickier.

Thanks in advance

you don;t need to create a contact - just type in the address.
