I remember the first time I heard of Mostafa. It was on the Bookshare
discussion list. There was a certain woman who posted there
occasionally. I wonder what happened to her. She was on several blind
related lists, but I haven't seen any posts from her in a very long
time. But she showed up on the Bookshare discussion list asking about
how to get rid of Mostafa. She did use the word stalking. She said that
he was cyber stalking her. That is, he was sending her messages pushing
his religion on her. It turned out that she was only one of a number of
people who were getting the same messages. She had had her email address
harvested by him from some email list. She had asked him to stop it, but
not only did he refuse to stop the proselytizing to her, but he actually
told her flat out that he was not going to stop.

Sadly, it seems that Mostafa has regressed. At the time I first read
Mostafa's posts, I thought that our old member Joe was being a bit...a
lot unfair. But it seems that Mostafa can't resist getting all puffed
up whenever his self proclaimed education is challenged. My opinion,
after reading most of Mostafa's posts, is that he fancies himself as
one of Allah's chosen prophets.
It's an interesting speculation, for me, as to why a person can't be
comfortable with their own convictions and beliefs, and allow everyone
else the same understanding.
I'm certain that everyone on this list...with one
exception...recognizes the close similarity between our own Racist,
Right Wing, Christian fanatics, and the mouthing and posturings of
Mostafa.

How to Block/Unblock A Sender In Thunderbird
August 11, 2016 by Jason Shuffield 7
Have you ever received an eMail from someone you do not want one from? I
know I do, and many of my clients do, too. It can be very frustrating
receiving messages from unwanted senders. The best way to deal with this is
to block that sender???s eMail address. Many people use Mozilla Thunderbird as
their primary eMail application. So I figured, ???Why not show you the steps
on how to block a sender???s eMail through Thunderbird????. This will also
delete the sender???s eMail immediately (almost like call blocker on your
phone). This is a very helpful step-by-step guide that will keep the stress
down when checking your mail.
How to Block a Sender???s eMail in Thunderbird
Step 1: Open your Thunderbird eMail application. Most of us will have it on
the Task Bar. You are looking for this Logo??? click on it
thunderbird-logo
Step 2: Find one of the eMails that you received from the sender. Open the
eMail and then right click on the sender???s eMail address at the top of the
eMail.
eMail Inbox
eMail address
Step 3: This will bring up a drop-down menu which you will want to select
???Create Filter From??????
eMail Drop Down Menu
Step 4: The next window that will appear is ???Filter Rules??? and the address
you selected will be auto-filled in the filter. If you want to add more
eMail addresses, just click the Plus Sign (+) next to the first eMail. Make
sure to name the filter ???Block Sender??? or something similar.
Filter Rules
Step 5: Here you will want to head down to the bottom box (Perform these
actions). Now you will want to Click the down-arrow next to ???Move Message
to??? wording.
Perform These Actions
Step 6: This will bring up a drop-down menu. You will want to choose ???Delete
message.??? Now click OK
Filter Rules Delete Message Option
Magic! If the sender tries to eMail you again, it will automatically go to
the desired folder. If you selected Delete Message, it will go there rather
than your Thunderbird Inbox. You can reverse this if you forgive that sender
at a later time. Unblocking is very easy to do compared to setting up the
Block.
Bonus:
Removing a sender from the block list (unblocking)
Step 1: At the top of your Thunderbird eMail application choose ???Tools??? From
the drop-down menu, select ???Message Filters???
Message Filter option
Step 2: In the the Message Filters box, click once on the Filter name. On
this one you will click on ???Block Sender,??? (or whatever you titled your
filter). Now click Edit
Message Filters Edit
Step 3: The next step is to just Click the Negative Sign (-) next to the
blocked eMail you wish to unblock. Click OK once you are done. Now this can
only be done this way if you have more than one eMail set up to be blocked
in the filter. If you only have one, then you have to delete the entire
filter
Filter Rules Sender Removal
The way to do this is when you are on the ???Message Filter??? window, select
the filter you want to delete. Then, just click on the ???Delete??? button to
the right
Message Filter Delete Option
So there you have it! You can now block and unblock sender eMails.

I do use the Thunderbird filter option but I also login to gmail and set a
filter their also.

I like the way you think Daniel. Always good to double up if you wish not to
get those unwanted sender emails. ????

Thanks for this article. I have the bad habit of wishing an application had
a certain function but not reading their help files to see if they do. I???ve
often wanted to block a specific sender, but didn???t know Thunderbird could
be set up to do that.
Jason Shuffield August 15, 2016 at 11:39 pm
You are very welcome Kelltic. Glad my article helped you out. ????

Way too many steps. Thinking of dumping TBird for not having a very easy one
or two step process for blocking one or many senders. If you go through all
these steps each and every time you want to block an address, it becomes too
time consuming.
Jason Shuffield September 28, 2017 at 12:10 am
You are right Denny. They need to have a shorter process of blocking and
unblocking. Figure that they would have a one button option by now but NO.
If you find a better email program with less steps please share.:)

Did you ever find another e-mail program. I really, really, really hate the
developers at Mozilla. They try and take something as easy as ???right click,
block sender??? and turn it into this crap. Please give me a suggestion for a
funtional e-mail client.
