Greetings,

I am using OL 2003 and would like to restore my safe and blocked senders
lists from backup but not sure what default file names and file locations
are. Can anyone assist?

did you export them? The name and location you used at the time of export is
what you would look for to import.

FWIW, the blocked file is useless - its only good for people or companies
that won’t remove your name from their mailing list. It will not stop real
spammers who keep changing their addresses.

Diane,

Thank you for your reply. NO, I did not export them. I was assuming that
there is a default file somewhere that would have been backed up by me. Is
there such a file or does one only exist if exported?

Unless you exported the list, there isn't a list to recover - its stored in
the registry.
