It turns out Thunderbird's filters make it easy to automatically block mail from a person or address, but there's no equivalent in Thunderbird to Outlook's ability to generate pop-up notifications when mail arrives from a specific sender. While I am familiar with how to create rules in Microsoft Outlook to block senders and receive notifications when mail arrives from a particular person or address, I had never tried to do the same in Thunderbird. Eddy also wants to be notified when mail comes from certain addresses. A reader named Eddy contacted me the other day to ask how to block mail from specific people in Mozilla Thunderbird.
