Hi,

Is it possible to mark an e-mail address as spam, and tell Thunderbird to automatically delete all future messages from that e-mail?

Thanks,

PFA

You can mark it as Junk in Thunderbird, but that's part of a training process and won't immediately have any effect. Thunderbird has no concept of "Spam" as such.

If it has specific and persistent characteristics, then you could set up a Message Filter to deal with it.

Personally, I get a fair amount of UCE/Spam/Junk but little of it is sufficiently consistent as to be trivial to filter. Spammers work to avoid being easy to identify and a simple filter will rapidly be made obsolete as the spammers tweak their content. They rarely use the same "From:" address for any great period of time, and only a numpty would keep using a recognizable word such as "viagra" or "cialis"; these words are usually disguised in such a way as to require fairly sophisticated filtering to spot them.

If you are truly getting annoyances from one specific address then I doubt it is strictly what we would call "spam".
