Hello, I accidently blocked the sender of an important site in outlook express, please tell me how to remove that particular email from the block senders list in outlook express so it will arrive in my inbox instead of my recycle bin from now on. Thanks a lot :)

Well we are on the topic of exporting the block list and I said "is there a way to export THIS list" which would probably suggest that I was referring to exporting the block list.

just wanted to make sure. Some people segway to different topics. The only way I could see to do it is when in block list, go to modify. Copy the address and paste it in a word document or excel spreadsheet. Then after reformatting, you can add each email back into the block list. I couldn't find an export feature for that.

just found this How to Back Up Blocked Senders List and Other Mail Rules The Blocked Senders List Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate and click the following registry subkeys (save each key to a different file): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Identity Number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Block Senders
On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File. In the Save In box, change the location to your desktop. In the File Name box, type blocked senders.reg (for the Block Senders key), and then click Save.
