At 03:57 PM 7/19/01, you said: Someone, ages ago sent the instructions on setting up filters and I lost it before being able to use it.... I have great need of it now. A young 16 yr old has my addy and I bet I get 50 emails a day from her.. I can't help her, but she continues to post..... I need to block her addy. I thought I had done it right, but then here came 6 more emails within 3 minutes of my good thinking...LOL Thanks ever so much ginger Ginger, If this person has your addy, then just set up a filter so that all messages from that person get dumped into either your Trash or into a possible spam folder. When one of the messages come in from this person, highlight that message then choose Special > Make Filter > her email address should be in the From field. In the Action section choose "Transfer to an existing mailbox" then choose "Trash". All messages from that person will go right into your trash bin. But only choose the Trash bin if you *know* that nothing this person has to say will be of any importance to you. Another good thought is, have you tried sending an email to her ISP to complain about the spamming she is doing to you? With most ISP's you can send it to abuse@ISPName.com (put whatever the actual ISP is where it says ISPName.com. Hope this helps you, Debbie
