Hello all,
Let's say I want to block someone from sending emails. Is there a way to do this from the mail client? Thanks,

Depending on exactly what you want, yes you can.
If it's just the receiving of the message you want to block, that you can't do, since that's done at the server level. However, you can get the same affect.
In your preferences, in the toolbar, click on rules.
Then select (in the first selection area) contains and any, and in the second area selection the action you want done. You can move the mail to the trash, (or another mailbox) bounce the message back to the sender so it looks like your email address is bad, forward the message elsewhere, and so on. Simply set up the rule the way you need it to be, and of course don't forget to enter the email address in the edit box next to contains, and make sure the action is checking from. That should take care of it for you.
