    PS Gerrie: always make sure to make a backup of the registry before changing the registry manually. Just incase anything goes wrong with the editing.

    @Gerrie – Normally deleting the address from the Blocked Senders list should do it. It is possible that your registry is corrupt.
    Check the registry key mention in the post, and then look for a subkey “Mail” and then “Criteria”. In there you will find subkeys for each address that is blocked, e.g. “000”, “001”, “002”. In each subkey there is a “Value” entry that has the e-mail address.
    Check if your incorrect e-mail address is still existing in one of the “000” … “00x” keys and if so, delete the key completely.

    An address accidently got put on the “blocked sender” list. I removed it, however the messages from that address keep get sent directly to the “deleted” folder. I would like to read the messages before sending them to the “deleted” folder. How do I rectify this problem?

    Terry,

    Answer is the same i’m afraid. The only import that Outlook allows for blocked senders is a simple TXT file listing all the e-mail addresses.

    So you still need a way to transfer the Registry export into a flat file.

    I also could not find anything useful online, so i’ll ask around if someone has some ideas on how to do this in an easy way.

    Thank you for your reply. Is there a way to import the list into Outlook?

    Hi Terry,

    The structure of the registry export does not allow for an easy extraction into a flat address list.
    So copying it into Word would not be possible without running some macros or filters. If you’re handy with Excel, that would be the easier route.

    Jules.

    I would like to copy the Blocked Senders list from Outlook Express into Word. Any thoughts?

    Sincerely,
