I've had my Hotmail account for 2 years now ... and I just got this message "The selected message will be deleted. [Note: The Sender's address could not be blocked because your Block Sender list is full (250 maximum).]"
So, my inbox is filling up with junk that I don't want, never asked for and takes time to delete; is there anyway I can start again on the Block sender list? Or is it best to just forgetaboutit and start a new hotmail account?
Thanks
ps, nice helpful forum ;-)

Morning,
The next time you open Hotmail, go to the OPTIONS tab and turn on the Junk mail Filter. That should stop all the junk you are getting.
have a good one,
XDon

Thanks for the reply XDonJuan; I just found out that by going to Options/Blocked Senders you can manually delete all the old junk mail addresses and start afresh ;-)
As junk mail senders often change addresses, the ability to clear and start again is great; the likely hood of a junk mail senders address still being active after 2 years is small. (I hate having to even look through junk mail to make sure a valid email isn't in there, so dislike using the partial/exclusive features)
I hope that may help someone else in the future ;-)
Byeee!
