How to Block an Email Address in Hotmail

The option to block email addresses provides another layer of filtering.

Blocking individual email addresses can save you from spam and harassing messages. Though Hotmail features a useful junk email blocker, some may slip through the cracks, requiring further action. Once you block an email address, you can unblock it at any time. There is no limit to the number of email addresses you can add to the blocked list.

Instructions

1. Open your Web browser and navigate to the Hotmail homepage.

2. Log in to your Hotmail account.

3. Click “Options” then “More Options.”

4. Click “Safe and Blocked Senders” under “Junk E-mail.”

5. Select “Blocked senders.”

6. Enter the email address of the person you want to block.

7. Click “Add to list” to add the email address to the blocked list.
