   Correction, yes it does - I wasn't looking hard enough.   
      
   Twit Filter   
   -----------   
   - Extras -> Options -> Filters Tab   
   - At the side of the Import pane, click "Add"   
   - In the "Beschreibung"(Description) field, give the filter a name   
   - Click the "Kriterien" Tab   
   - In the "Absender"(Sender) field, enter the name of the "twit"   
   - Click the "Absender" checkbox   
   - Click the "Original" Tab   
   - Click the "Originalmail Loschen"(Delete original message) checkbox   
   - Click the "Ubernehmen" button   
   - Click the "OK" button   
      
   NOTE:   
   This deletes *ALL* new incoming mail from the "twit".   
      
   If you want to delete mail from the "twit" in a specific area, click     
   the "Zielarea" checkbox on the "Kriterien" Tab and then click on the     
   pulldown menu and select the specific area.   
      
   After setting this up, I tested the filter by rescanning(for xx days)     
   an echo and here's the result:

   Cool eh? :-))   
      
   As for the kill thread filter, it would be set up in a similar manner     
   but instead of searching for the "Sender"(Absender) you would need to     
   search for the "Subject"(Betreff) on the "Kriterien" Tab. I haven't     
   actually tested this but I don't see why it shouldn't work. I'll leave     
   that to you but you try it at your own risk ;)   
      
   Regards,
