How to block email address in windows live mail

To block an email address in Windows Live Mail, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Block an email address using the "Junk Email" feature

  1. Open Windows Live Mail and go to the "Home" tab.
  2. Click on the "Junk" button in the "Delete" group.
  3. In the "Junk Email" window, click on the "Mark as Junk" button.
  4. In the "Mark as Junk" window, select the email address you want to block from the "From" field.
  5. Click on the "Block" button.

Method 2: Block an email address using the "Contacts" feature

  1. Open Windows Live Mail and go to the "Contacts" tab.
  2. Click on the "New Contact" button.
  3. Enter the email address you want to block in the "Email" field.
  4. Click on the "Save" button.
  5. Right-click on the new contact and select "Block" from the context menu.

Method 3: Block an email address using the "Rules" feature

  1. Open Windows Live Mail and go to the "Tools" menu.
  2. Click on "Rules" and then "New Rule".
  3. Select "Start from a blank rule" and click "Next".
  4. Select "Move messages from someone to the specified folder" and click "Next".
  5. Enter the email address you want to block in the "From" field.
  6. Select the "Block" option and click "Next".
  7. Choose the folder where you want to move the blocked emails and click "Finish".

Once you've blocked an email address using any of these methods, Windows Live Mail will automatically move any future emails from that address to the "Junk Email" folder or the folder you specified in the "Rules" feature.

Note: Blocking an email address will not prevent the sender from sending you emails, but it will help to reduce the amount of spam you receive from that address.
