Actually,
That ID has been hidden for a very long time. I am surprised I received a spam at that ID.
I can send private email to the developers with which ID it is. Don't want to publicise it since I am receiving spam at it

Well, now you need to set its count to 0, not just hide it.

I am receiving email from a hidden address with zero messages allowed.
This is the only address that I have noticed this hapening on, it is for a no longer wanted news letter from a specified sender.
As a 'work around', I have modified the 'preferred sender' address. I am now waiting to see if this works.

FYI, if you set an exclusive sender then that person can use the email indefinitely (until you change it) without regard for how many messages are left on the address.

Thanks
This is news to me, I thought that hiding an address was sufficient
I always zero the message count on exclusive senders: previously I have found that other senders could get through on a message count
Now I have some work to do stripping out all those exclusive sender addresses
