Does anyone know where I can find the junksenders list for outlook2000 in Win2K??

I have reinstalled Office and I wish to use a junksenders list from another computer on the newely installed version.

I can't seem to find the location where the junksenders list is stored. I have tried to do a find file search using the op.sys but it returned no results!!

I know that in Win98, the junk senders list is stalled in:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

but can't seem to see it in Win2K.

If someone knows where I can find it and edit it, then this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Ben

Why not download a free copy of “Mailwasher” from here http://www.mailwasher.net/ and install and use it.
I’ve just done that and I’m impressed.
It will deal with all your e-mail accounts at once, download all the headers, highlight those containing infections and identify any that are junk mail.
There are tick boxes against each to delete, bounce, or blacklist.
You can also whitelist your friends and there are filters to block those who have not provided a valid return address.
You can import blacklists and whitelists.
You can highlight one and press the spacebar to view it in text form to check it out, which happens much quicker than downloading.
By viewing any e-mail in this way, infections are unable to activate and the e-mail is still on the server, not your PC.
When you click “Process Mail” it deletes, bounces and blacklists from the server, then opens you normal e-mail browser to download those mails remaining.
You can either have your passwords remembered so Mailwasher and your e-mail client open without asking for a password, or set it to ask.

Wonderful!

The version I downloaded [2.0.28 Beta] supported Hotmail accounts.
It looks like the latest release [2.0,40] of the free version does not.
Ouch!

MailWasher just released a new Pro version of their program that will go free to registered users, but that unregistered users will have to pay for. They are going to continue distributing a free version, but they won't be enhancing it. I haven't downloaded the new one yet, but I will start a thread about it after I check it out.
