• Answer:

  About the messenger... You need to put a contact on your Ignore List first, otherwise he can still see you when you are online and send you a message, because your ID is still on his Messenger list. Here's what to do: right click on their icon -> scroll down to stealth settings -> change them to appear permanently offline. Then click on messenger (top left on the messenger window) -> click preferences -> scroll down to ignore list -> click and in the next window add them to your ignore list -> click o.k. Then go back -> right click their icon and delete. Note: there is a limit of 100 names that you can put on permanent ignore. About mail... For New Mail Go to options -> mail options -> spam -> type the unwanted email address under add a blocked address -> click add -> click "save changes". For Mail Classic Go to "mail options" in the top bar -> management -> block addresses -> under "add block" enter the email address you want to be blocked. Click "add block", click "yes" to set the block.
