Ignore it.
Or send a cease-and-desist letter indicating that any further communications will be forwarded to the attorney and what happens next is out of your hands.

Looks to me that it reinforces the fact that you made the right decision in changing management companies. Ignore the e-mails but save them in case things get nastier.

Have the Board member set up an email filter to automatically reject messages from the property manager.

I believe the former PM company is sending the emails to all board members.
So all board members would have to set up such a filter.

Ok. It's not hard to do. Most email clients these days support a "Black List" of some sort to automatically refuse or discard email from specified addresses. If any particular Board member doesn't want to see messages from that PM (or any specific person) then that Board member can easily add the PMs address to their Black List.

I'll agree with Michele, though would make the two actions conjunctive.

RN,
Print out the emails and forward to the DPR with a letter of explanation and cc the PM. Sending certified mail would be a good idea. If this is the way she acts she should not be licensed to be a PM.

To all,
I expect the best action, whether it is one board member or all Board Members receiving these e-mails, is first to save all of them, then the Board should have their attorney write this person a strong letter and make sure that the message comes from the Board, in total.
If one Board member is threatened, all board members are threatened, and that in turn is a threat to the well being of the association, effecting potenially all members of the association.
