Whether you need to block a domain address from sending junk mail or wish to block emails from a specific person, Mozilla Thunderbird allows you to create email rules to properly handle the email. These rules are also known as filters, as they continuously monitor your inbox and automatically remove the message from your inbox or server, depending on your filter settings.

Click the "New" button to create a new filter rule.

Type in a name for your filter in the blank field. Click the tabs under the "Apply filter when" section so that they read "From" "is," and type in the email address you wish to block in the blank field.
