Is there a way to filter out spam in Mozilla by e.g. blocking addresses, or filtering out specific words?
Yes. You can do that by using message filters. In the mail window, click on “Tools” -> “Message Filters”. Click on “New” to create a new filter. While creating a filter, you can add additional filter rules by clicking on the “More” button. This may be useful if you e.g. want to specify that Mozilla is to delete messages if e.g subject contains “x” and / or the (text) body contains “y”. Please note that this will only affect new email (unlike MS Outlook filters that affect existing email, as well). Or you can simply right-click a “from” address of an email and choose “Create Filter from Message”. Update: Mozilla 1.3a now contains an advanced Spam filter. It works automatically and learns which type of Email you consider as Spam by means of Heuristic Filtering. Mark messages as Spam and Mozilla will learn how to automatically recognize similar messages.
