| 2 | Some EXACT info from you about how you access your emails will help. nice_lady - 2021-03-18 06:45:00 |
| 3 | Firstly we need to know who your email is with. It is usually the the part of the email address after the @. Eg gmail.com , xtra.co.nz Secondly we need to know as nice_lady says how you look at your emails. Do you open a browser such as Chrome, Edge Firefox or do you use a an App on your computer such as Thunderbird, Outlook, Mail, Windows live...... duncb - 2021-03-18 07:34:00 |
| 4 | Hi OP, spam emails are VERY annoying. Additionally, different telecom companies may deal with them differently, which is why the extra info is required. I use outlook, either through the web or through the program on my computer, and because it is a work computer, neither the "ignore" nor "junk" functions or buttons work for spam. zirconium - 2021-03-18 07:57:00 |

| 6 | When I google the error message you gave, the first answer is: https://help.trademe.co.nz/hc/en-us/articles/360018909172-Yo And since we're all here on TradeMe I'll take a wild guess. Line 4 shows how to remove someone, and then use step 3 to add the new black. gyrogearloose - 2021-03-18 09:27:00 |

| 10 | You haven't told us how you look at them, for example I use Outlook to view most of mine. skull - 2021-03-18 13:46:00 |
| 11 | is it your trademe blacklist you are talking about. gypsypom - 2021-03-18 15:23:00 |
| 12 | I think it's the email blacklist, some of the email clients like Outlook do have a limit. He's not overly talkative and doesn't read properly the info that's asked for. skull - 2021-03-18 15:33:00 |

| 16 | Oh ffs. It was a trademe blacklist ? And you never mentioned that? Gryo musta polished up his crystal ball for that one. Most of us round here - our crystal balls are long ago dead from over use. nice_lady - 2021-03-18 18:04:00 |

Hats off to Gyro for figuring that one out... Edited by king1 at 6:39 pm, Thu 18 Mar king1 - 2021-03-18 18:34:00 |
| 19 | Yeah. And even post#8 doesn't detail how they were accessing the mail and that can definitely have an effect on blacklist and other functionalities. nice_lady - 2021-03-18 19:05:00 |

no it was not a TARDME blacklist , that might be why i did not mention it ,,, now run along ... i did say email black list , dont worry i dont blame you for the education system failing to teach you compression ignoramus1 - 2021-03-18 22:02:00 |

well i thought that i said in post 1 "" blacklist sender " i thought that would give people a hint it was an email problem not TARDME related once again i blame the education system ignoramus1 - 2021-03-18 22:07:00 |
| 22 | well thanks to one helpful person i got it sorted ,, now carry on sniping im out of here thanks again Gyro ignoramus1 - 2021-03-18 22:09:00 |

| 24 | is that a freudian slip I see? king1 - 2021-03-18 23:13:00 |
| 25 | Well..........I don't see how messing about with the Trade Me blacklist is going to add extra slots to any email blacklist. OP's user name seems to be a match made in heaven. skull - 2021-03-19 07:00:00 |
| 26 | Speaking of blacklists and OPs username...... nice_lady - 2021-03-19 07:10:00 |
| 27 | skull wrote: There's a couple of actions you can do on TradeMe that will generate an email to another member, and because that email arrives in your inbox from 'mailer@trademe.co.nz'- The actions I can think of are: having a question asked on your auction (and this chap lists vintage motorcycle parts); putting something on your watchlist which is then relisted over and over; and marking a trader as a favourite. If you blacklist a trader, it stops these emails. There's also some options on https://www.trademe.co.nz/MyTradeMe/EmailOptions.aspx to reduce the number of notifications generally but these are not against a specific trader. Actually I thought I'd get flak about saying 'adding a black to the list' - it's more PC now to use 'denylist' or 'blocklist' rather than using terms of colour... gyrogearloose - 2021-03-19 07:41:00 |

the instructions Gyro gave , which were TARDMEs are EXACTLY the same procedure one uses to fix the email blacklist problem ,,, as you posted so it s a dead issue now ,,, what i really do not understand is why a simple question like this has caused me to receive snide remarks ... i do not understand that aspect of human nature , but i consider they say more about the person making the remark than they do about the "target of it" UNREAL ignoramus1 - 2021-03-19 08:07:00 |

| 30 | and just for clarity DANG some people simply make an assumption , stick to it , and when they are shown they are incorrect they make snide remarks hiding behind a keyboard ...honestly what is it with people ? ignoramus1 - 2021-03-19 08:13:00 |

| 33 | so the only remaining question is how on earth did Gyros instructions for the Trade Me blacklist help OP fix his email blacklist problem. One of life's great mysteries I guess... Edited by king1 at 9:03 am, Fri 19 Mar king1 - 2021-03-19 09:02:00 |

| 38 | well, ignoramus - your attitude is terrible. kateley - 2021-03-19 10:47:00 |
| 39 | And by inference their statement: ", i have far more interesting REAL things to do i n life that sit there staring at a sceen" is a HUGE put down of those people they've come here asking for help from. nice_lady - 2021-03-19 10:48:00 |
