How to Make a Message Filter in Mozilla Thunderbird

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: In Thunderbird

   If it's for spam name it Spam, if it's emails from a certain person, put their name in the name field. , You will only ever really need From, Body or Subject.
   
   In this, we are going to block all emails from unclelarry@LifeGuide Hubemailadress.com, so we want to select from. , This is the best option for From, as then it will only block emails from unclelarry@LifeGuide Hubemailadress.com, and not thisisunclelarry@myLifeGuide Hubemailadress.com, or anything containing unclelarry@LifeGuide Hubemailadress.com , In this case, it'd be unclelarry@LifeGuide Hubemailadress.com. , In our example, we will delete the emails. ,, Uncle Larry won't bug you again, of course, this can be used for anyone or anything.
   
   If you wanted to delete anything that contains "pass this on" or "buy now" in the body, you could do that!
