They won't go away!

[Anonymous]

Previously, for unwanted emails, when I pressed the 'add to spam button', I got two options:

Block sender

Block domain

I have always pressed 'block domain' but suddenly both options now result in an overriding message stating 'sorry email has stopped working'  (even though I have just received the message by email....).

I therefore now have just one option: the dustbin. But this only deletes, it doesn't prevent.

What has gone wrong?

Who is your email provider?

Talktalk (previously AOL) Aaah. Could it be since the changeover?

Try this.

I used this before it became a commercial product. It worked well for me then.

Well, hadn't really thought about it until now. But yes, I would say that it started about the time I changed. But aren't they the same company? I didn't have to change my aol screen name...?

They are all owned by carphone warehouse but still operate as separate companies I would say it's a sign of the change

Sorry... I'll have to read that again......

AOL and TalkTalk are owned by Carphone Warehouse???

Shurely Shome Mishtake...

Talk Talk used to be owned by CPW bit they are now a separate company listed on the London Stock Exchange

I have now realised this was happening because my setting on email blocking is full (only 200 addresses allowed! I get at least 200 unwanted emails per week).
This from what is reputedly one of the best mobile phones available (discuss...)
I am also consistently advised that I have -2 emails (minus two).
I can't solve that one, so time to buy myself out of this contract and get a Nokia.
