How to block EVERY email from my messages

It has always been the case that you could receive messages from an email address in your SMS or Messages app. That has been the case since basic flip phones. And it's true on Android phones as well.

I can't tell from the limited information you've provided why you are suddenly getting messages you weren't getting before. I would suggest you start by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and un-tick any email addresses under "You can receive iMessages to and reply from".

ETA: While I was typing this, more posts were made. It sounds as if you are getting messages sent to something like "2125551212@vtext.com" (or whoever your carrier is). Unless your carrier lets you stop that, you can't.

I am unclear how emails can come to the Messaging app, probably meant the iOS mail app. Yopu can alwasy set rules using a web browser preventing all emails to come to the Inbox.

There are two types of Rules.

1. server-side
2. client-only  

If the rule set is on the server side then even if you are not logged into your email account, the rules will be applied to the email immediately.

But if the rule is set on the client side on a Mac then the rule will be activated only when the Mail app is open and is online on the Mac.

This is truly based on the conditions and actions you apply to them.

• iCloud / Gmail only has a Client-side rule option
• Outlook / Exchange has both options, Server and Client side rules can be set

You cannot set a rule on an iPhone. It will follow the rules set on server or at the client end.
