AIM Mobile enables
you to control who contacts you. If someone sends you annoying or
offensive messages, you can reject further messages from that user
while you are signed on to AIM Mobile.
Rejecting
messages only rejects messages from a screen name during the current
session. The person will be able to send messages again the next time
you sign on.
To permanently reject messages from that user, use the Block User feature
of AIM Express on any PC. Block User adds the screen name to a permanent
global Block List.
A
rejected buddy will be displayed with an X next
to the screen name on your mobile Buddy ListTM. A blocked
buddy name will never be displayed as an Online Buddy on your mobile
Buddy ListTM.
|
NOTE
|
Currently, only AIM Express affects the "global" Block
List. Changes made using AIM desktop only apply to the PC it
is installed on.

prevent a specific user from contacting you, you can reject messages
from that user. Highlight the user's screen name in the Conversations
or Buddy ListTM, then select MENU.

|
From the List Menu,
select Reject Msgs from buddyname. Select REJCT
to reject all messages from the buddyname. Select CANCL
to cancel the procedure.
|
|
|
|
After
the user is rejected, an X appears next to their screen name
in the Buddy ListTM. A buddy that has been blocked using AIM Express is
never displayed.
