    I want to create rules for certain phrases. I get a tonne of junk from SEO 'Experts' but because all of the emails and email addresses are vastly different, I want to target some phrases that my real clients would not use. I've searched a bunch of tutorials on this and everyone skips past the first options. 1. Match all of the following. - Does this mean it matches the whole phrase word for word and in order? Or does it mean something else? 2. Match any of the following. Does that mean it will select a single word and move it to junk? 3. Match all messages. - What does this mean? Thanks in advance.

    stpped watching after 10 seconds just after hear create a rule. I do not wanna create rules. I wanna some intelligence. I wanna at least 2 folders potential spam and spam. into spam emails go which there was not many views or no replies. potential spam goes mail which had a little views from me. Was that difficult to make?

      Once the email opens, then right click the spam sender, then follow his instructions. Many people say his instructions work. Best to write down the steps.

      @@Roottech25 I've heard that they can inject scripts in emails. Like with some software you can see if someone opened your email and for how they've read it. But I am not an e-mail expert, so I take your word on it

  • @robertgarland9342
    @robertgarland9342 Před 2 lety

    This is really no help to me as it's not actually blocking the email. It's still letting it into you computer email and you still have to remove it later so this seems pointless to me. I've been doing it this way for so long and it's still a pain having to remove them later from the trash.

    Way, way too many steps. I want to right click on the sender, select Block, and end of story. This is a BIG flaw in Thunderbird considering how much spam comes at us every day.

    • @TheCocoaDaddy
      @TheCocoaDaddy Před 3 lety

      I down-voted this video. Creating a filter, as he demonstrated, is certainly ONE way of doing it. Your suggested way of blocking a sender is another, but not very effective. The reason I down-voted the video is he neglected to mention Thunderbird's built-in junk filter. It's really excellent, once it gets "trained". Training the filter is easy: once enabled, you simply flag junk messages as "Junk" and incorrectly flagged junk messages as "not junk" and BAM, the filter gets trained. The key is to train enough messages and over time (maybe weeks), the filter will really hone in on junk mail. Additionally, the filter can be setup to trust headers set by SpamAssassin or another mail server spam filter (SpamCop, but I'm not sure).
      Anyway, once you get Thunderbird's junk filter enabled, you can right-click and click "Mark as Junk" or put a "Junk" button on the toolbar and click that. You can mark individual messages as junk or groups of messages.
      I have this setup on my mom's computer and it's amazing to watch the filter at work. Thunderbird will download 150 new email messages to the inbox, go through them and tag all the junk messages and move them to the junk folder, leaving only the "real" messages for my mom to read. In her case, it might move 145 of those 150 messages to the junk folder, leaving only 5 messages for her to read.
      You can also configure how Thunderbird deals with junk mail. It can tag it and leave it in the inbox, move it to a junk folder, move it to the trash, move it to some other folder or whatever. What I do is have Thunderbird move junk to the junk folder. Any messages older than 14 days (this time is configurable) will be automatically moved to the trash. This way, I'm not really looking at junk mail at all and I have 14 days to check the junk folder for the occasional "false positive" and further train the filter.
      Thunderbird uses a Bayesian junk filter and it works very, very well. The only issue I've run across with it is giving it time (mostly enough email message samples) to be properly trained.
