Hi,

I have Thunderbird 1.06.

Can anyone tell me how to block a specific email
address? I saw the filters, but I don't know exactly
what to do to create a proper filter for this and
when I searched the help, I came up empty.

Thanks!

There's not much to creating a filter. On the email address you don't
want, do a right click and select "Create filter from message." When
it comes up, select the settings you want down below. You can have
the messages deleted, removed from server, mark it as read, or
whatever you want. When you've set it, click on OK. If there are any
in the inbox, you can then run the filter.

I don't have any such entry on the right click menu.

I tried it on one of the received messages from this
person and on their entry in my address book.

Then what do you have on the right click? Well, whatever then, then
just copy the email address, select Filters, and create one.

with the message highlighted, Go to the top of the page (toolbar), click
on Messages, go to create filter from message.

So in other words, copy the email address into a newly
created filter, as the title of the filter and that's
it? Is there also a way to have the server bounce a
message back to the sender, so that they know that
their messages are being bounced?

The program is called Mailwasher.

As vernon said, Mailwasher. The free version works great with
Thunderbird. Would love it if Tbird included something like this,
though. I don't really like the two-program method, but the ability to
bounce makes it worth it.

Yes, I keep wishing there was an all in one.
The other advantage of Mailwasher is the text only load so there is no
easy way to get any viruses. Loads are quick, because no graphic is
loaded. E-mails can be viewed without downloading them.

Bouncing spam and/or viruses is probably amongst the most stupid things
you can do.
