iCloud doesn’t let me access Mail from an iPhone. The Mail app has no way of creating rules to filter emails. Is the premier smartphone incapable of creating email filters with default apps? Do I have to install a 3rd party app and rely on 3rd party servers to do the basic task of filtering email? This is absurd!

Hi kamote0628-
So you confirm that there is no way to create email filtering rules using only the iPhone. A very basic function of email for 20+ years now and the flagship product of Apple’s consumer line cannot do it. This doesn’t feel like striving, it feels like laziness.
Take care!
How do I set up a rule to automatically move email with my iPhone?
