I actually know this guy. He is a 15 year old boy his name is Jordon Greenwood and he is harmless. I use to live 2 doors down from him. He is just doing it to make money as he performs magic tricks for the drunks, he has always been a bit of a entrepreneur. When he was young he would be doing penny for a guy all day every day from mid-october onwards and use to make enough money to keep his whole family. His Mum had Cancer (no idea if she beat it as we moved out of Portsmouth) and his Dad is useless.
I hadn't realised this had made the national news.

For some reason, I thought it might be him - he was in the Barley Mow a few weeks ago doing card tricks.
Which I guess makes me one of "the drunks".

 Are you from/live in Portsmouth? I knew Mark Wallace was but had no idea you were.

No, but my parents live down there, so I'm often to be found propping up the bar in the local watering holes.

I semi-recall having this conversation before? might have been drunk 
I live on Hayling Island now, but if you're ever at a loose end when you're in this neck of the woods, let me know and we'll have a jar or two.
We use to play the Barley Mow in the Pool League, great little pub really. I played for the Magpie(now turned into flats) down Fratton Road.

Why remove outlook express?
OK, Iris (an elderly lady with reasonable tech skills) is being moved from her XP desktop to a Win8 lappy, and generally speaking, it's not going too bad. We're about 3 months in, and she's checking her email on win 8 now.
And therein lies the problem.
Windows Mail (my tablet tried to make that Windups Maul, which is surprisingly appropriate...)
How the heck do you get to add an address to the "blocked senders" list? 'Twas easy in outlook... But even with Google I can't get out to work!
Anyone got the stupid software can try it and tell me? Please?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I was going to come up with a totally hilarious, side-splitting, back-slapping response to this where I pretended to be Wayne Ronney by changing my display name, but to my dismay "Wayne Rooney[^]" has already signed up, and he's Turkish!
EDIT: Fixed link

And you have no idea how glad that makes me!

The profile doesn't say "Turkish"; it says "Turkey".
That's a damned good algorithm they use.

That's perhaps because he isn't Turkish but perhaps only connecting in from Turkey.
Mine says "USA" but I am not an USian, I just live in the US at the moment.

Um, look at definition 4[^], and remember that we're talking about Wayne Rooney.

In Outlook, there should be a right-click option to junk it. In Outlook Webmail, you do the same. In the former, you can go to that junk menu and change the settings. In Webmail, you have to click on the Options link in the top right.
And I have no idea what Windows Mail is.

It's the POS replacement for Outlook Express that ships with Win8...

Never looked to see what came with W8. Or maybe I did and blocked it from memory. I bought Office 2013 and use WOutlook.

I don't think that is possible as seen here [^].

As much feature churn as the metro apps have seen, I wouldn't regard anything from almost 2 years ago as a definitive answer about the current status. OTOH I don't use it, so have no idea if they've changed their mindfinally GOTTEN around to adding the feature.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Griff,
I'm pretty sure that XP was the last Outlook Express version (I've certainly seen Vista with Windows Mail.)
I did a quick search and found this clickety[^] I have no idea if it works!
It might be time for her to find an alternative. I love Windows 8, but I'm disappointed with Office 2013 on it, but that's what I use.
Bonne chance mon ami!

I think you're right: I have Office 2010 on my Win7 and it includes Outlook - and I seem to recall that one of the reasons I got it was the absence of Outlook Express.
Maybe I'll move her to Thunderbird...
