Computer help...Outlook for XP
I have been getting over run with spam from all the emailing I do through trade portals and what not.
The problem is, apparently with the XP Version of Outlook (home version) you cannot block a sender...only label it jusnk mail so it is a different color in your inbox.
I searched online, but the only version that seems to totally block senders is Outlook 03, and I could not download their files.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. - 06-23-2005, 03:50 PM
