Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. When you receive a message from a sender you want to block, here's what to do. Select the message header.

2. Find the Message menu at the top of Outlook Express. In that menu, select "Block Sender."

Tips & Warnings

• What if you've changed your mind about someone and you want to un-block them? Modifying your list of Blocked Senders is easy. In Outlook, select the "Tools" menu, then "Message Rules," then "Blocked Senders List." This will let you add, delete, or otherwise change up your list of blocked senders.
