You can't exactly block email addresses in Thunderbird, but you can have Thunderbird automatically delete the messages for you. Let's say you have an X boyfriend, a spammer or an annoying friend who won't stop sending you emails. Copy their email address and follow the instructions below.<\/p>\n

How to block and email in Thunderbird using a filter<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the screen.<\/li>\n
  2. Click 'Message Filters...'<\/li>\n
  3. Click the 'New' button.<\/li>\n
  4. Enter a name for your filter in the 'Filter name:' field. Example: <\/strong>\"spammers\"<\/li>\n
  5. Make sure the option 'Match any of the following' is checked.<\/li>\n
  6. Choose what characteristic you want to match to in the first box. Since we want the filter to match a particular email address, I'm going to select the 'From' option.<\/li>\n
  7. Paste the email address of the spammer into the field. \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Under the 'Perform these actions:' area, select the trash icon from the second drop down menu area. \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Click the 'OK' button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now whenever you\u00a0receive\u00a0emails from that particular email address, the Thunderbird filter will send that email to the trash automatically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
