i noticed the last couple of updates has a couple of new additions - block and unsubscribe.
when i 'block' a spam email, it keeps returning with the red circle with a slash mark in regular mail box as well as trash and junk.
what is the point of 'block' if they keep returning?
Greetings slrc47,
Your message is posted in a community for the iCloud website, so we’re going to provide information based on changes you can make from the website, as opposed to a device. If instead you’re using a device to access your email, let us know which one.
You mentioned attempting to block emails, that isn’t something you can do from the iCloud website. You can report an email as junk and move it to the junk folder. We’ll include some steps below on how to do that. However, on the iCloud website you can set up a rule to filter emails from a sender to a specific place. We’re also including a link below on how to do that.
Manage junk mail in Mail on iCloud.com
Mark an email as junk
1. In Mail on iCloud.com, locate the message list and select the message or messages you want to mark as junk.
2. Do one of the following:
• If you selected one message: Click the arrow, then click Move to Junk.
• If you selected multiple messages: Click Mark, then click “Move to Junk.”
Subsequent messages from the same sender are automatically marked as junk.

Don't open suspected junk email
Delete any messages that look like junk mail before you open them. Learn how to delete emails on your iPhone or iPad and how to delete emails on your Mac. You can also manage junk mail on iCloud.com.
When you open an email that looks like junk mail, it can alert spammers that their message was received and opened from an active email account.

On iCloud.com
1. Go to iCloud.com/mail.
2. Click the Settings button in the sidebar.
3. Choose Preferences.
4. Click General, then turn off "Load remote content in messages."

4. Below Then, use the pop-up menus or fields to specify an action for the rule.

Important: If you apply rules to a folder and then delete the folder or change its name, make sure to update the rules for those folders accordingly. For example, you can’t forward messages to a deleted folder.
Thanks.
