IOS 13 Mail Contact Blocking not working Correctly

Apple just refuses to fix what should be easy to fix. If Mail displays the mail is blocked it should be simple to move it to trash.

Thank you for your help!

In reply to Hoodwink - I know senders use multiple addresses e.g Bitcoin sellers but I am getting mail from blocked senders using the blocked address with a note from Apple it is from a blocked sender- I have at least a dozen of these and another one this morning

In reply to wesleygg - I have never ever had the message “mail thinks this is junk” Just the message that it is from a blocked sender who is using exactly the same email address as the one I blocked

Possible solution: In researching this matter, I find that email addresses that I intended to be blocked are not appearing in my blocked contact list. It appears that you can manually add the email address to the blocked contact list or:

When you receive an email that you wish to be blocked, Open the email and tap on the sender address, then block contact. This seems to add the email address to the blocked contact list more reliably as opposed to simply “moving to junk”. Moving your email to junk used to automatically add the email to your blocked contact list, but now you have to do it as described above.

I believe that you will be “unpleasantly” surprised in just a short while. If what you blocked was simply a former friend this may well work. If,however, you are attempting to block a product sales pitch you will still have the problem. Apple is blocking the address sent from only, not the product they are trying to sell you. That same product will come back to you from hundreds of different addresses. They need to give you a choice of “address” or “product”!

Can you help me fix a Mail problem on my Mac running latest OS (Catalina)?

Blocked emails are not blocked. They show as they were designated as a blocked email, but they still appear in my inbox. I still have to send them to trash manually.

This is still an annoying glitch. The email providers regularly put some email in junk without asking. Why not when I give the instruction?

Afte the Big Sur update there is no more blocking of stalker mails. They are marked as such, but appear in the inbox. Zero security with Big Sur. Bad News.
