Default Stop 1 E-mail

Using Thunderbird 52.5 in Windows 10, I have one company that is
consistently sending me E-mail, The company is called Wayfair.ca,
they are an online furniture company, I have created rules from a
message numerous times, I have added them to my hosts file but
they still keep coming through. my hosts file seems OK as I can no
longer reach there web site
They are very annoying as they send them every few days.
Is there any way I can stop them once and for all.


In your experience, are they a legitimate, honest company? If so, their
emails should have an "unsubscribe" link attached to each email. If you
are convinced that the emails are really coming from them and not from
an imposter, use that link to unsubsribe from their mailings. They
should stop within a few days. I see they also have a phone number,
(800) 508-1737. Perhaps they can unsubscribe you on your verbal say-so.

If all else fails, use your email service's webmail interface to create
a filter that will delete their messages or mark them as spam. That
would probably be more reliable and permanent than using Thunderbird
itself for filtering.

Don't bother with your hosts file - it will have no effect in this
case. The email is coming to you from your email service's sever, not
directly from Wayfair. Unless you want to block yourself from ever
reaching their web site, remove that entry.
