Subject: Tech: Windows Ten help ?
From: Deckman

I'm learning how to navigate Windows ten from Windows XP (I prefer XP). Question: On XP, I could put a "block on any incoming e-mail message from a crank, but I don't see a way to do that on Windows ten? Help ... thanks ... bob(deckman)nelson

I'm switching from Windows XP to Windows 10. In Windows 10, I do NOT see how to block an incoming e-mail? Any suggestions? bob(deckman)nelson

Hi, Bob -
Every email program is different. I find two email programs on Windows 10 and I can't tell which one you're using - or if you're using a Web-based email program from your Internet Service Provider. In the program I think you're using, you can right-click on the title of the message and select "send to" - and send it to "junk." That should help, although I can't guarantee it will block that particular sender.

OK, new question, and not sure if it's Windows 10 or Chrome, but my Yahoo email shortcut icon on the shortcut bar keeps changing to a Google/Gmail icon. First, can I make the icon be anything I want like one used to be able to do, and second, can I make it stop? It is small and annoying, like Donkey. Sometimes rebooting makes it go back, but not always. Thanks.

Now it's the Google News icon.

OE Classic Pro is almost the same as XP Outlook Express
Note the "almost".
But it seems pretty good to me.
and it runs on win 7 and win 10 (32 or 64)
and it can import all your existing outlook express files

I have no affiliation with the programmers
and I offer the usual caveat emptor ...

OK, now the icon is the Mudcat icon. Are you in on the conspiracy, elves?

I don't use chrome but I think what you are describing is the favicons changing on the bookmarks bar. If you google using those terms you might find some suggestions. Example.

That seems to be what it is but I have no such extension that I can find, but thanks, this is closer to a soution... or so I feel!

And now it's fixed. I did nothing recommended.
