IOS 13 Mail Contact Blocking not working Correctly

Totally unhelpful. 1st, what is the "Settings app"? Is that "Systems Preferences"? But there is no "Mail" to tap in "Systems Preferences". And then "Threading section"?? What? I have searched every combination of the terms you posted and it appears there is no one that knows what the heck you talking about.

Llyrin, it's a low priority because Apple is making $$$$$ by not sending what one has blocked to trash. And I'm a bigger fan of Apple (Mac) than Rush. My 1st Mac was - well, the 1st Mac, 1984. (?) But Apple is run, NOT by software engineers, but by "bottom line" profit people. Those people do not care. They KNOW they have the vast majority of us LOCKED IN.

On response to Less,

I have followed the procedure and asked for all these blocked mails yo AUTOMATICALLY being moved to the bin.

it just does not happen !!!!

i get about 40 every day from same contacts and they stay in my inbox until I remove them manually. I then empty my bin when finishing. Next day they are back, some of them twice a day, I guess Apple has a commercial interest in letting them continue - so sad to say that.

fiwi

I have this problem also. despite my settings being set to 'send blocked emails to bin' they go into junk, and I have to go onto that folder to delete them. Come on, Apple, sort this out. Let's hear from you?

Do we need to move this to an iOS 14 folder now? We have an entire new version with the same problem. The blocked emails are still going to the inbox. For a $1500 phone, the iOS should do what is says is can do.

I agree. Apple needs to address this problem, especially since Verizon sold my email and mobile phone number to almost everyone. I receive almost 10 a day and had to get a Google phone number to put down whenever I buy something on the Web now. I would trade my number in, but too many of my friends, doctors, etc. have it and it would be a tedious task to do. Please Apple FIX THIS PROBLEM. The block works in Outlook on my desktop BUT NOT on my mobile!

Hi. I have done all of this - the Move to Bin command is ticked and STILL they are appearing in the Junk mail which means I see the subject and opening lines (I'm getting some horrible, triggering stuff and this ridiculous apple system means I can't effectively block it. It's becoming an absolute nightmare) I would seriously appreciate any other advice you might have on this. Thank you very much.

I spoke to Apple Support for over an hour about this. It seems my problem is that I use third party email providers (AOL and Gmail) and IOS Mail cannot block from these sources. The block has to be put on the senders while using the specific provider's app.

Don't understand why, seems stoopid, but there we are.

C'mon Apple, surely you can overcome this?

Of course they can overcome this. It’s a simple comparison operation. You compare the email to the blocked lis: The mail comes in, you check to see if this sender is in the blocked list, and if so, send that email to the trash.

Yea, it may take an update to iOS, but it’s an easy operation and, as fast as iPhone processors are these days, you would not even notice the minute delay it causes, unless you get 5k emails every 10 minutes maybe.

I found a solution that worked in my scenario. I had to change the Blocked Sender settings for all 3 devices (MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad) to Move To Trash. Once I did this on all 3, the blocked sender emails started going directly to the Trash.

I get the same thing. I’ve got blocked emails and it doesn’t do a thing to them. I still get toms of spam mail. The problem is that the junk mail in question is not coming from that source. The junk is coming from mass spam mailing address, such as adtracker, and u fortunately I have not found a way to type in a known mass emailer address and have it work.

going on from the last post before mine, I went to

Mail>Preferences>Junkmail>Blocked>

here you may chose :

"When mail from blocked address arrives": > Move it to trash

I have an email address in there and a phone number.

Let us see what happens after I changed the option to

"to the Trash" . fingers crossed.

For nearly all of us here, we’ve done that. We did it LONG ago. It still doesn’t work. At least not entirely. I have noticed some previously blocked senders in the trash, but it still lets many or most of them through.

The answer suggesting this can be fixed in settings>mail is not accurate, at least not as of the latest updates 2/3/2021.

I got one of the blocked sender emails and checked my settings. I changed it long ago to “move to trash” but it’s clearly not functioning that way.

After I have tried all of these suggestions I deleted the mail account started two new mail accounts

one for my bills which is essential

and one for friends

so that way I could see where the junk was coming from

i didn’t start getting junk with my bill account until I refinanced my home and put the mortgage company in,

then all **** broke loose and I had that account for two years.

I started getting junk mail with the friends account when they send those mails they think are funny and I open them

i guess you just have to be careful.
