For starters, when you add or remove an entry in your safe or blocked senders lists it's automatically saved once you click ok and are back in WLM. Pressing CTRL-F5 just checks all of your email and newsgroup accounts and downloads new messages or headers and sends any messages that may be in the outbound box. Next you talk about restoring your OS. Are you talking about reinstalling Windows? -- Roy Smith http://roysmith1959.spaces.live.com/ Windows 7 Beta |

| | Re: blocked & safe senders Let me try and make this clear. I want to back up my safe & blocked senders lists so that if I ever have to restore my OS (Vista) I will have them saved. I know how to back vit up in the registry but I understand that by signing into your WLM account that there is a way to back them up. I hope this is clear enough.

| | Re: blocked & safe senders That's a fine program but I already know how to back up everything but the safe & blocked senders list and I don't think that program does that. It's my understanding that when you sign in to WLM there is a way to save your S & B lists. Do you know how that's done?

| | Re: blocked & safe senders If you use WLM's Live ID sign-in feature, it syncs all your contacts and blocked/safe senders lists to the web server for that Live ID.

| | Re: blocked & safe senders Did you go to your Live ID on the web to see if the Safe & Blocked Senders lists are there? All I can say is that when I go to my Live ID on the web (http://mail.live.com), all the Safe & Blocked Senders that I entered in WLM are there.
