Blocked emails

Notwithstanding that i have blocked unsolicited emails, i still receive them in my mailbox (70 per day). I also do not find the option to divert these mails to trash?

Can you please assist.

If you're receiving a high volume of unwanted emails despite blocking them, there are a few steps you can take to try to mitigate this issue:


  1. Ensure that the emails you're receiving are indeed from blocked contacts. Sometimes, emails from new or different addresses can still come through. Go to your email settings and review the list of blocked contacts to confirm that the sender's email addresses are on the block list. Block a phone number, contact or email address - Apple Support
  2. Consider using third-party spam-blocking apps available on the App Store. These apps can offer additional layers of protection against unwanted emails by enhancing the built-in filters of your email service.
  3. If these emails are from legitimate companies, there should be an "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email. Use this option to unsubscribe from their mailing list. For consistently unwanted emails, marking them as spam can also help your email service learn to filter them better. Report and reduce spam in iCloud Mail - Apple Support (IN)
  4. Some email services allow you to create filters or rules that automatically move emails from specific senders or with certain keywords directly to the Trash or Junk Mail folder. Check if your email service or app supports this feature. Mail app - Email Rules - Corporate Profil… - Apple Community
  5. If none of the above solutions work, contacting your email provider's support team could be helpful. They might have additional suggestions or insights specific to their platform.


Remember, it's essential to regularly review your blocked and spam folders to ensure that legitimate emails aren't getting caught up in these filters.
