I "ignored" an email by mistake. How can I reverse this?

On iPhone XR, I accidentally tapped IGNORE on left swipe options when looking at a family email. How do I restore this? Where did it go? I must be able to receive all future emails from this person. TY.

Hello Freeem,


We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Under the "Manage your blocked phone numbers, contacts, and emails", it explains that to remove someone from blocked status, you should: "Go to Settings > Mail. Under Threading, tap Blocked." When an email message is marked as blocked, the email will go to your mail account's trash folder.


We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.

This is incorrect. I have looked in “blocked” emails and the email I IGNORED is nowhere to be found. Idk if apple updated this since this question was asked but I’d like to get the correct answer as this was a VERY IMPORTANT email I accidentally ignored. So any other suggestions because it’s not anywhere in “trash” or “blocked”
