I've set up a filter, named 'Blocked", to which I want to send email addresses to block, or delete. However, I cannot remember how to add new addresses for blocking to this filter. I don't want to have to set up a new filter for every address I wish to block. Please assist. I know that this has already been addressed elsewhere, but I don't know where to look.

I've found the answer!


"The Message filter that you have created can be opened and edited by selecting the Message filters... entry in the Tools menu. It is not necessary to create an individual filter for each address you want to block. Now you have the Block list filter, the next time you want to block someone you can add the person's address into the top of the filter by clicking the + button and thus creating a new field to enter the new address. Make sure you select the "Match any of the following" option, as you wish it to fire on any of the listed addresses."
