How Do I Block People on Thunderbird Email?
If you constantly get unwanted email from a certain someone, such as a scammer, con artist, former ex or annoying friend, you can configure Thunderbird to not show you these emails. While you cannot block emails per se using Thunderbird, you can set up a filter to prevent the email from entering your inbox and continuing to annoy you, allowing you to deal with emails from entities you care about.
