Multiple "Add Sender to Blocked Senders List" operations.

[Guest]

One can only add a single sender at a time to the "Blocked Senders" list. At
times I get up to several dozen spams in one download and it would be
convenient to be able to select them all at once for adding to the "Blocked
Senders" list.

I wholeheartedly agree it is time consuming and because of that, one tends
to delete them in bulk rather than adding them to blocked senders. Amazed
that it hasn't been done before!! Better be in the next one or i'm changing
to another program. Couldn't fine the "I agree" button I'm new to this forum.

It's not supported because it’s a horrible way to deal with spam - 99.9% of
spam comes from a fake address that is only used once. The blocked senders
list would be in the billions with most address never used. The blocked list
should be for annoying people or companies who keep sending you email and
they won't remove your address or the procedure is too much bother.

If the spam filter on high is not effective, find a better filter.

BTW - there is a limit to the total number of names that can go on the
blocked and safe lists - its better to save the space for addresses that
should not be marked as spam rather than filling it with single use
addresses.
