You can block messages from a particular sender. When you block a sender, no e-mail or news message from that sender will arrive in your Inbox or in the news messages you read. E-mail from blocked senders goes directly into your Delete folder. (If you need to have messages automatically deleted from the server see Advanced Filtering below).
Advanced Filtering
.
Select the conditions for your rule by selecting the desired check boxes in the Conditions section. You must select at least one condition, for example ‘Where the From line contains people…’
Select the actions for your rule by selecting the desired check boxes in the Actions section. You must select at least one action, such as ‘Copy it to the Specified Folder…’
One of the available actions is ‘Delete it from Server’. This can be used to block mail from a dubious source from ever reaching one’s computer.
Creating Rules from a message.
You can create a rule from a message by selecting a mail message in the main window and then on the Message menu clicking Create Rule from Message. This helps by automatically filling in the name of the person on the From line; no other information from the message, however, is entered into the rule.
