When you block someone, Outlook is polite enough to keep their emails for 10-30 days (just in case you change your mind). If you unblock them today, their old emails don't magically fly back into your Inbox. You have to manually drag them from to Inbox to save the important stuff. A Word of Caution With great power comes great responsibility. Just because you can unblock your Aunt Carol doesn't mean you should . If she sends 17 chain emails about "miracle magnesium" before breakfast, maybe leave her on the list.

Maybe you blocked that coworker who replies all with “Thanks.” Maybe you blocked the newsletter that promised “one last email” (for the 47th time). Or, in a moment of pettiness we are definitely not judging you for, you blocked your ex after they sent a 2 a.m. “u up?” text.
