lycos.de-mailservice is refusing that i can block spammail. this does only happend on my winme-pc not on my friends machine(win98se). i can do this in other mailboxes but not in lycos. i have a firewall.

first question:
have you changed the javascript settings for your browser? lycos uses javascript for all actions when checking your mail / blocking / deleteing.

I had a similar problem with lycos, until I noticed that it was javascript driven and remembered I had javascript off ( as anyone that wants to avoid the newest virus does, since they are url /spamm generating javascript )

second, have you performed any system maintenance laitely? if not you may have had a crosslink in a file happen that stops the browser from functioning with the javascript.

the issue will more likely be with your browser than the os. a setting stopping it. not the firewall either, as you are getting there and logging in.

at the beginning not one single message could be blocked, then i changed something in the browser settings(java remains activated) and i could blocked a lot of mails but not all.
