Hello you Ferdorans! (FedorIANS?...) I have a question,.....now....we all know that there's ways to block unwanted email from your system using Message Filters, and they work by blocking a certain domain or email address and prevent them from hitting your Inbox, I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to filter your messages in a sort of "reverse" order.....in other words instead of me telling the Mail Filter Rule: Block anything with the email address of (ABC@123) I would like it to be "Allow everything from (123@ABC) and block "Everything Else"...how would one go about doing this using Fedora 20 and Thunderbird? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank You

Hi Eddie,
if creating a message filter in TB, one of the rules can be: "contains" or "doesn't contain" or "is" os "isn't", and you can apply this for keys like subject, body, and so on.
Is that what you mean?
Kind regards

Yes Joachim this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!..Thank you so much! My Inbox seems to be growing every day with more and more spam. I literally spent a whole hour and a half ...JUST adding email addresses to the "Block" list...and now that you've given me this knowledge, I should just be able to let in what I need and everything else will get tossed into the trash!..thanks so much! Happy New Year!!
