Blocking Email Adresses??

Re: Blocking Email Adresses??

I don't use it anymore, but I know in hotmail, you used to be able to add people to the filter list.

Do not let any email from "[email protected]" through

Did you try the hotmail help section? I'm sorry, that wasn't much help.

hmmm ill look into it. thanks.

I think when you read their mail there is a block feature.

Go to options, junk mail, and you should see the block senders option.

Re: Blocking Email Adresses??

Here's info on how to block/filter from both accounts:

Hotmail:
Block messages from specific senders
To reduce unwanted e-mail, you can block messages from specific e-mail addresses or from entire domains (a domain is the part of an e-mail address that follows the @ sign). Blocked messages never reach your account.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click Options.
On the left side of the page, click Mail.
Click Junk E-mail Protection, and then Block Senders to show your Block Sender List.
Enter an e-mail address or domain, and then click Add.
Use the Add and Remove buttons to change the list.
Notes

You cannot block messages from the following:
MSN Hotmail (hotmail.com)
MSN (msn.com)
Your MSN Personal Address
Blocking a sender is very effective against e-mail from a particular address or domain, but it cannot block messages from addresses or domains that have never sent you messages. For more information, see Stop receiving junk e-mail (spam).
To remove an address or a domain from the Block Sender list (or unblock it), select the item, and then click Remove.

Gmail:
While you can't currently block messages from specific addresses or domains, you can set up a filter to send those unwanted messages directly to Trash.
To set up a filter, follow these steps:

Click Create a filter under the search box at the top of any Gmail page.

Fill in the appropriate fields with the filter's criteria, and click Next Step.
Choose the action you'd like for these messages by checking the appropriate box. (In this case, we suggest checking Move it to the Trash.)

Click Create Filter.
To edit or disable a filter, click Settings.
