    The profile doesn't say "Turkish"; it says "Turkey". That's a damned good algorithm they use.

    That's perhaps because he isn't Turkish but perhaps only connecting in from Turkey. Mine says "USA" but I am not an USian, I just live in the US at the moment.

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

      Um, look at definition 4[^], and remember that we're talking about Wayne Rooney.

          He's one of those mammals that spends its life running around a field chasing a ball. Dogs/footballers... the similarities are immense.

            Why remove outlook express? :sigh: OK, Iris (an elderly lady with reasonable tech skills) is being moved from her XP desktop to a Win8 lappy, and generally speaking, it's not going too bad. We're about 3 months in, and she's checking her email on win 8 now. And therein lies the problem. Windows Mail (my tablet tried to make that Windups Maul, which is surprisingly appropriate...) How the heck do you get to add an address to the "blocked senders" list? 'Twas easy in outlook... But even with Google I can't get out to work! Anyone got the stupid software can try it and tell me? Please?

            Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

            Hi Griff, There is something called Sweep introduced lately. Check if this help http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/junk-delete-sweep[^] As Mark Wallace said one post above. Everything is just there, but renamed or buried. And so right he is. Thanks

            Thanks, Milind

              I never heard of a dog paying someone's granny to lick his dangly bits though :laugh: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/rooney-admits-sex-with-a-granny-6952363.html[^]

                I use Thunderbird on Windows 8 (and Windows 7, etc). I didn't see any reason to use their full screen app store mail app. Just didn't have any appeal to me whatsoever and I already had an Email client. That would stink to be on Outlook Express and not have it available though. I'd say find another Email client you like and you can use it across OS/machines.

                    Regrettably not - it looks like the version in Win8 has been completely lobotomised, and the "junk mail" selection doesn't allow access to the blocked senders list. In fact, it seems there is no blocked senders list in the stupid app! :doh:
