Outlook Express 6 Block Senders List

Apr 8, 2005 3:06AM PDT

Win XP SP2. Something new. Because of so much spam I send each spam to the block sender's list. It always accumulated them. Now, it clears out the names, I assume when I shut down the computer at night.

Just found out that they disappear from the Block senders list without turning off computer or restarting.

Downloaded and installed OE Tweaker found through Google and it let me repair the block sender's list and everything is back.

I had the same problem with the block sender's list. Please see my posting in Computer help. I can't see why nobody understood me (except maybe one person) and nobody gave me the right answer to this problem. I tried OLEXP: How to Backup and Restore Outlook Express Blocked Senders List even before I asked for help and it doesn't apply to OE 6. Thanks to you, you gave me the answer to this problem. Everything is back to normal and you don't even call yourself a computer GURU. I wish I could turn to you directly for help in the future. Thanks again.
