How to block senders in iCloud Mail from a browser?

Using Tahoe 26.2 and Safari 26.2 to log into my iCloud account and attempting to block certain senders on the e-mail server side. However, I cannot find any place to block senders anywhere in the browser version of iCloud mail. Any ideas how I can block from the browser iCloud mail application? In advance, thanks for your wise counsel.

Mac Studio, macOS 26.2

To block senders in iCloud Mail from a browser (iCloud.com), you can't use a direct "Block Sender" button like in the Mail app; instead, create a Rule in Mail Settings to automatically move emails from a specific address to the Trash. Sign into iCloud.com, go to Mail Settings (gear icon) > Rules, then Add Rule, set the condition to "Is From" with the sender's email, and choose the action "Move to Trash". 


Steps to Create a Rule in iCloud Mail (Browser)


  1. Go to iCloud.com: Open Safari, go to iCloud.com, and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  2. Open Mail: Click the Mail icon to open iCloud Mail.
  3. Access Settings: Click the gear icon (Settings) in the bottom-left corner, then select Rules.
  4. Add a Rule: Click Add a Rule....
  5. Set Conditions:
    • In the "If a message" section, choose is from from the dropdown menu.
    • Type the full email address you want to block in the text field.
  1. Set Action:
    • In the "Then" section, choose Move to Trash.
  1. Confirm: Click Done to save your new rule. 

Now, any email from that specific address will automatically be moved to your Trash folder, preventing it from cluttering your Inbox.
