Was asking about blacklisting.

greenforde - 2020-12-03 16:57:00

its gone now, did you remove it?

you had about four responses, and they pretty much came down to

Blacklist what? you didn't actually say where what the blacklist was for...

king1 - 2020-12-03 17:37:00

Mostly business advertising emails, competitions and some Trade Me traders. I am using Spark extra

greenforde - 2020-12-03 17:46:00

And you are accessing it how ?
On the net/webpage ?
On a program on your computer, (such as Thunderbird etc) ?
On an app on the phone/tablet/whatever ?

nice_lady - 2020-12-03 17:56:00

You want to block rather than blacklist, or whitelist those sites you wish to support - if I remember my xtra days correctly. Should be in settings or security...

oh_hunnihunni - 2020-12-03 17:59:00

Sorry I do not understand. I will leave it at this stage. Many thanks

greenforde - 2020-12-03 18:02:00

Oh you are wanting to blacklist emails. OK, so is it online email or are you using outlook or thunderbird etc.?

tygertung - 2020-12-03 18:19:00

Yes Online emails outlook

right click on the email, select junk, select block sender, then delete.

gabbysnana - 2020-12-03 19:48:00

I do not have junk only blacklist and when I click blacklist I get this message.You exceeded the maximum number of items on your blacklist. Please delete some addresses first. I have checked my blacklist and there are no entries there.

greenforde - 2020-12-03 20:20:00

What I am asking is how do I delete some of my blacklisted emails

The same way you delete any other email.
Usually, blacklisted emails will be found in the spam folder.

If you are indeed accessing the xtra mail 'online' then go to the mail page and start by clicking where the first arrow shows, (at the top right hand side on the three lines), and then follow the arrows in the sequence shown you will see your blacklisted addresses shown on the right hand side. You can delete them as you wish. Let us know how you get on - or if this is NOT what you are seeing......

Welcombe to TM community where some read into posts what is not there

calostemma - 2020-12-04 09:22:00

Silly me I have had a good sleep and now I know what to write. I want to blacklist emails I get from businesses and other scams and sometimes personal emails When I open the the unwanted emails and click blacklist I get this message. "You exceeded the maximum number of items on your blacklist. Please delete some addresses first." I think was getting confused with Trade Me blacklist traders list. Does this help?

greenforde - 2020-12-04 11:18:00

So read my post at #14

And to quote you - does this help?

Edited by nice_lady at 12:29 pm, Fri 4 Dec

nice_lady - 2020-12-04 12:28:00

I can open it but it will not let me press anything.

Personally I think you're doing this all wrong.
1. You should learn how to and start 'Unsubscribing' from mailing lists - read the fine print at the end of email messages, look for the 'unsubscribe' link.
2 If you are using the Spark webmail, look for the junk mail /spam button for the non-mailing list spam

Blacklists are really only intended for that annoying relative that you don't want to here from...

king1 - 2020-12-04 13:07:00

Okay thanks. I am aware of the unsubscribe. Thanks.

greenforde - 2020-12-04 13:13:00

But if I want to delete something "You exceeded the maximum number of items on your blacklist. Please delete some addresses first. How do I do this please.

So you can get to the screen shown from #14 but not delete anything? Have you ticked any of the boxes that show next to the ones you would like to delete and selected them? And then use the delete selected button at the top.

and remember when you delete them from your blacklist they can now come back and haunt you again.

Please be patient it seems like the OP needs her hand held step by step on this (see #22).
Remember we all had to learn how to do things and some people need more or different teaching than others and as we get older learning becomes more difficult. I only wish I knew more than I do.

Edited by perfectimages at 3:01 pm, Fri 4 Dec

perfectimages - 2020-12-04 14:51:00

Patient? I spent quite a bit of time doing a screenshot and added iinfo onto it and uploaded it and linked to it, with instructions.

That took patience.

All I'd like now is for the OP to take a look, a good thorough look, and come back with some info, feedback etc. Help us to help you.

that link provided by nice_lady is a picture with instructions on it to guide you, it's like a photograph, not the real xtra webmail... you can't click it. you need to follow the instructions while logged into your own xtra email...

What seems obvious to some may not be so obvious to others it seems. But, like life, it is all a learning process

Might I suggest that your post at #14 was absolutely great, well thought out and took a lot work (I could not have done that). Unfortunately the OP did not understand that it was only an example of what she should do after opening her Email page.
And also unfortunately your post at #25 showed your frustration that she did not understand, which I think you took as a slight on your knowledge, Your tone in that post thereby causing offence to be taken by the OP.
