Blocked Senders List

[Rick]

How do I use a blocked senders list from outlook express 6 in outlook 2000?
Are the file formats compatible so I can just rename and move the file from
the Express folder to the Outlook folder? Can I export/import? I have
already imported the message rules, folders, and e-mails into Outlook 2000,
but the process did not import the blocked senders list from Outlook Express
6.

I don't think they're compatible formats. Can you export the list in OE? I
just checked in Windows Mail under Vista and you can't

I searched the Help feature in OE6 but found no info on exporting this list.
I also searched the Help feature in OL2000 and found nothing on importing a
Blocked Senders List. I realize that spammers know all the tricks and can
get around some of these blocking techniques, but legitimate companies that
use legitimate e-mail advertising can be blocked. I use Messgae Rules when
possible, but I also use the Blocked Senders List when it appears to be a
better choice. It would be nice not to have to retype the list I have
compiled.

No, you can't share or import the lists. FWIW, the blocked senders list is
pretty useless for blocking spam. Use a real spam filter instead.

I also have Outlook Express 6 and are not able to access a blocked sender
command (either right click or left click nor going to the "Message" on the
tool bar --the blocked sender option is not highlighted. Can someone help?
Thanks.
