Blocking email senders

[vaporninja]

Hello,
I've looked for the answer to this online, but have had no luck...
Is there a way to block specific email addresses or domains from sending email to me ?
I'd love to know, thanks.
(Not including usernaame so I don't get even more email.)
I'm currently using Thunderbird for my email, by the way.

@vaporninja thanks for reaching out and asking this great question. As @Gwen-Dragon mentioned you can report the sender following the help page or you can forward the spam messages you receive to [email protected] and then we blacklist the sender so that no other Vivaldi members will get spam from the same sender/domain.

Also you can use filters and the delete the emails right away, or move them to spam folder (which helps our filter to learn from it as well). Here's a screenshot showing how to do it via the webmail interface:

1. go to mail.vivaldi.net
2. select settings at the top right of your screen
3. select filters on the left column of the screen
4. create a filter similar to the one shown below

I hope this helps, let us know otherwise.

Thanks, but...
I am concerned about personal harassers, not exactly spam emails.
I run a few websites, and I want to have a way to contact me through email.
I'd like to know if there's a way to block offending emails from individuals who might otherwise send legitimate emails to other Vivaldi users.

In that case, why not use Filters to send the emails straight to Discard/Delete or Junk?

OK yeah , I suppose I could do that...
I can add an email address to the filter ?
I'll look and see how to do that.. I'm using Thunderbird...
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks for the input !

@vaporninja Here's also a quick tutorial about how to filter messages in ThunderBird: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/organize-your-messages-using-filters

Does it help you better?
