    Create an address book named "Trolls" and add addresses like "HenHanna@devnull.tb"
    or "HenHanna@gmail.com".
    Create a filter for your news server in TB which says:
    From: is in my address book "trolls"
    Actions: mark as read, delete message, ignore thread.

    *LOL*. Good advice. He or she will disappear completely from the surface.

    Actions: Ignore subthread is doing exactly this in one go.

    In TB there is a function that you can filter the incoming messages to a given set of parameters. See Tools> Message filters

    They can be set to run manually or getting new mail. There are many
    options to chose from.

    Unfortunately the filter has to be set for each folder. Which can be a
    good or bad thing depending on what the filter is doing.

    You can set it for the entire account but it is kinda hidden (in the
    list where you select which ng to apply it too, theres an option at the
    top for the entire acct)

    You *can* set a filter for an entire server (though not for all servers).
