Deleting an Entry
Click on the entry and click Delete. The entry is immediately deleted.
• If the rule is for a person: If you are in the other person’s contact list or if the other person is in your contact
list, then you will receive a New Contact Request for that person, requesting to share availability.
Therefore, you should only remove the privacy rule for a person when the address is no longer valid.
• If the rule is for a domain: If you are in the contact list of anyone in that domain or if people in that domain
are in your contact list, you will receive a New Contact Request from each of those people, because you no
longer have a rule for any of them.
Therefore, in general, you should not remove the privacy rule for a domain. Instead, you may want to set up
several rules. For example, an allow rule for the domain and ban rules for some people in that domain. Or a
ban rule for the domain and allow rules for some people in that domain.
Modifying the Default Rule
The default rule is created with the following values:
• The Address is *, to indicate that it is used when no other specific rule applies.
• All actions are set to “Undefined”, which means that phone calls and IMs are allowed, while availability
requests will always be displayed for you to decide (as described in “Receiving a New Contact Request” on
page 24 ).
You can change the settings in the same way as for any rule.
You can also “revert” to the original (factory) default rule by deleting the rule. The next time you display the
Privacy Rules window, the default rule will be displayed again, but with the original factory settings.
