Thanks Bruce Hagen. Your suggestion to alter the Registry worked.

As others have said, Blocked Senders is pretty fruitless since spammers
constantly change their addresses. That said, if your list of Blocked
senders keeps disappearing, then the registry key has become corrupt.

The registry key has become corrupt. Close OE and then:

1.. In Regedit, navigate to this key:

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Identities
|--------{GUID}
|-----------Software
|--------------Microsoft
|-----------------Outlook Express
|--------------------5.0

where GUID is the Global Unique IDentifier for your Identity.

2.. Under that key, you will find the following sub-keys, among
others:

|-----------------------Block Senders
|-----------------------Rules
|-----------------------Signatures

Select the Block Senders Key and delete it. Blocked Senders will be empty,
but you can rebuild it now.

I use WinXP and OE6. When about 100 spam emails came in, I decided to use
the Block-Sender feature. I right-clicked each message, then opened the
Message menu and clicked "Block Sender". For each one a confirmation
dialog came up saying that the sender is blocked.

When I got all through, I decided to check the Block Sender's List. It
opened and there was only one email in there. What happened? How can I
fix the problem?
