Index of Subjects Hi Andrew, Thanks. I've always used Thunderbird and used to use Firefox but where I have a Mac I now use Safari. Just before sending the e-mail to you I had read on line about blocking e-mails and they suggested basically what you have confirmed. I open the e-mail, press Control and highlight the address and delete the file. In the last two days it has worked perfect. I am concerned about leaving Thunderbird running all the time as I thought that would make me an easy target to hackers. But I am satisfied with just switching it on occasionally and even though the unwanted e-mails get to by iphone, the moment I switch on Thunderbird, it removes all of them from my iphone. The iphone doesn't appear to have a facility to block them (I am using an iphone3). Once again, appreciate your help Malcolm On 15-06-01 7:55 PM, Andrew D. Wright wrote: > > Hi Malcolm.
