Thanks....Tim

You can't.

But what is the point it deleting without first checking the name(s)? It may be just the one you are looking for.

Incidentally you couldn't delete them before, only hide. Now the delete does just that. You can't get it back once deleted.

It's really quick to delete now.
Just go to view, if it's no use to you, just delete and it goes on to the next.
A lot faster than it used to be.

In less I'm missing it, not any more there isn't. The Ignore function was removed a few weeks ago.

You have to do as Marion suggests.

There is a discard button, but you have to look at the hotmail to do this.

Thanks gus for the replies
It just goes to show what we take as read even when it's not there.

Inspector greenpen....my problem with wanting to delete a wholepage at a time is that I have one relations name that must be bordering on the most common name in the world...lol.....it may be easier to delete him as my relation!!!!

It's just going to take some time to adjust to the change, bit of a dinosaur when it comes to change!!
