Email unable to unblock sender

4.5

You accidentally blocked someone and can't find where to remove them from the list.

Symptoms
  • Missing mail from friend
  • Address not in "Blocked" list
  • Cannot receive mail
Possible Causes
  • Hidden settings
  • Rule vs Block
  • Sync error

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check "Junk Email Options"

In Outlook, go to Home > Junk > Junk Email Options > Blocked Senders.

2

Check Filters/Rules

You might have a rule deleting their mail instead of a formal "Block".

3

Check Webmail Block List

The block might be at the server level.

When to See a Technician

If they aren't on the block list, check your "Safe Senders" list and add them there to override any filters.
