But there is not one for Linux. Probably just as well. I do glance through the junk mail list before I delete them and sometimes there is one that should not be there, so I have to "un-junk" it.On Sat, 13 Oct 2018, Neil wrote:I do have different passwords for each site.

Hi Neil, Using Thunderbird I filter on FROM address:If FROM is NOT in ADDRESS BOOK then MOVE To Blacklist folder. I check that daily and if there are repeats I actually want I add them to the Address Book. On the other hand if there are repeat offenders I add the subject or sender to a filter with the action Delete From POP Server. That performs the same action as the add-on you mentioned. Then they never even get to my PC for me to accidentally click to expose the address to more spam.
I could do that for all mails not in my Address Book but I get too many false positives at the moment to rely on it.
