Remote content settings in Apple mail
Hi Apple community,
I have an apple mac running Monterey 12.4, I am trying to reduce the amount of spam and junk and understand that one of the best ways to do this is to stop remote content loading in emails (as discussed here for example Identify and filter junk mail in iCloud – Apple Support (AU))
However, when I go to switch remote content off (Mail/preferences/privacy/Block all remote content I can only choose to 'block all remote content' if I also choose to switch OFF the 'Protect Mail activity' option. While I do not know what protect mail activity does, it sounds pretty good. My two questions then are as follows:
Firstly, is there a way that I can have 'protect mail activity' on and 'block all remote content'; and
Secondly, if not and I have to choose between one or the other option, which one is better for stopping spam, 'protect mail activity' or 'block all remote content'?
Thank you
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
