    This morning that's what I tried i put in any emails sent to me with that email address be discarded and so far all has been quiet. But thanks for sharing visually what you have done. Will come back tomorrow and report.

      Look forward to learning about your outcome, Albi.  I have had 2 fred messages today , one offering a coffee maker and the other a mystery box. 

      I have now set the rule but I could not find the coloured flag that was referred to. Can you help please?

    Thanks!  I've recently started receiving dozens  of junk/phishing email, purpotedly originating from @ freecellenligne.com - with names made up of scrambled letters.  I've followed your advice.  With BT Internet mail, you can block the sending domain but that's not an option with Virgin.  Thanks again.
