Is there anything that plugs into outlook for free, that gives you a button that makes it appear that your email address is no longer working?

Something that bounces any email you like. It doesn't have to be spam, just click an email, click 'bounce', and that person thinks your email address is invalid?

Reason I ask is that theres an idiot who keeps emailing me, and I want to tell him to fuckoff politely by pretending I've changed my email address.

Not what your asking for, but i think it should do the what you want. Take a look at MailWasher. It allows you to view mails on the server. Tag which 1's you want to keep and what 1's you want to bounce/delete from the server. Once you've proccessed them, you can download them as norm with outlook.


Note, MailWasher free does have a scrolling banner ad in it. But as you only want it for 1 peep, Ahould do the job, You can either bin it or buy it to make banner ad go away.

That is a serverside feature Tom.

Not sure that's entirely true. Mail.app in Mac OSX has a ‘Bounce Message’ button. That comes out-of-box, but I've no idea where Outlook might hide such a function.

Mail.app sort of puts it next to ‘Redirect Message’*(to pass the mail on to a different address, rather than forwarding the content as part of a separate message), so maybe Outlook has features like that hidden in a menu somewhere?

Although it will still show up to someone who knows what they are looking for as something which hit the client and got rejected there.

just create a rule so it auto replies with a script saying you no longer look at this email account, then add a ficticious email address.

eg,

this mailbox is unattended, please forward all emails to tom@emailme.co.uk

that would work
