 Account / Sorting Office / Selective downlaod Filters.

An alternative: create an Incoming mail filter that delete (or send
to trash) any message whose sender belong to a certain AB group.
Then create create the group in your AB, and put the person you want
to kill in it.

The downside of this approach is TB still has to download those
messages before filtering it, so you don't get to save any download
time, but it avoids the disadvantage Thomas mentioned with
"selective download" approach.

Hi Ming,

I really like that approach Ming.  Good one!

I have a cable modem so I don't mind. ;-)

The "person" you want to kill? Oops. I knew TBv2 will be able to make
coffee, but shouldn't there be a limit to what an email client can do?

 As a practising psychopath I absolutely disagree ...

Hallo syv,

Account / Sorting Office / Selective downlaod Filters.

Look around in the tabs, it gives you a lot of options.

Disadvantage: once you have at least one Selective Download filter, TB
will download all headers first, check them against these filters and
take action (for example, a Kill Filter will delete a message on
server and not download it), and after all this is finished, will
start once again and downalod all messages as appropriate.

Therefore, in many cases, just using an Incoming Filter and filtering
into Trash might be faster.
