I also found that this does not work.

Why doesn’t Apile provide a solution to this nuscience?

This is complex and ridiculous to have to do APPLE how about a simple "BLOCK SENDER"

How do I block spam

sorry i am still unclear. tap ‘from’ from where? which screen? please help clarify again. TQ

I have done this but they still email me?

Dear ; it’s not right I tried it more than five times but it’s not working in emails only we can block phone calls and messages but not emails. Please show us a way for blocking emails.

Super helpful and easy! Thank you!

hi,i have found it near impossible to block a sender of emails to you on ios,but if you sign in to your e.mail account through saffari ,rather than your ios app,then it is possible,so go to saffari, type in say ,google mail sign in,click on the e.mail that you want to block,there is a small half diamond shape ,click on that ,you will see a menu in it it will say do you want to block this sender ,i found this by far the best way to block .

Try this-

Create a 'Blocked Emails' contact in your address book, with a fictitious telephone number you intend to block, or a real number you intend to block. Open your Spam email, and click on the sender address. At the bottom of 'details' you can add this sender email address to 'Blocked Email' contact, then update. Now, go to Settings, 'Blocked', then block that 'Blocked Emails' contact. You can add as many Sender Addresses as you like to that 'Blocked Contact' and will no longer receive those junk mails. You can also create additional contacts such as 'Blocked Emails 2' to increase your library if the contact gets too large. Also, periodically reblock the 'Blocked Emails' Contact to refresh those blocked emails, to assure that you are on top of things.

So basically what you do is:

•go on the email and tap their name in 'from' section

•scroll down to add contact then just add it

•then go into settings, then scroll down to face time and click on it

•next you go scroll down to blocked users in 'FaceTime' you chose the person you want to block from contacts then it should block them from email apparently.

•hopefully this helps and works I only just did it so idk if it will work

Ok- Hang on! I have since discovered that it doesn't work as I intended, or at least some spammers can bypass this method. But, I have achieved the correct method. Here's the deal- any spammer email addresses must be 'blocked' by your e-mail provider, i.e. Yahoo, Google, etc. The issue is, that the settings icon you need to access to block them from is not available from the 'limited' or condensed version of mail available on iPhone and iPad. You must access your mail from a 'full' software version of your e-mail provider. This is done via a 'real' computer, not an iPad or iPhone, but a MacBook or Desktop. If you open your mail from the full version of mail, the 'settings' icon is available, but it is not from the limited version on iPad or iPhone. For example, from a MacBook, open Yahoo Mail and enter your password, your mail is visible. In the upper right corner is a gear icon for settings, select it. Then inside this 'settings' is another icon towards the bottom, 'settings' again. After selecting, a menu appears on the left side. At the bottom appears 'blocked', depress it. Here's where you can cut and paste or copy your Spammers Address to block his junk mail. However, spammers are wise. If you notice, spammers have combinations of email addresses, such as 'Brown Duck', if you block it, the next spam you receive will be 'White Duck' or 'Brown Badger'. Remember, they have your email address, and to be 'unblocked', all they need to do is change their address! To avoid this, use the 'Wild Card' function (*.*) to block All spammer addresses from anyone at that network. For example, if you block '*.*@yellowduck.com', jerry@yellowduck.com and mike@yellowduck.com will both be blocked. But keep in mind, his next move is to change his network to 'whiteduck'.

So, I have a guy who somehow generates new email addresses for each spam mail. So, creating a contact and blocking won't work via FaceTime. Unless I just don't know how to do it right. On my Mac I run outlook and created rules for any email with his name (fortunately he doesn't change that or subject line). But no go on iPad and iPhone. Any other new solutions since this thread started?

From the More Like This section on the right.

In some contexts and with some senders, you can block these sorts of mail communications through judicial means. Discussions of legal options and alternatives vary by jurisdiction, and are likely beyond the scope of this forum; please seek formal legal advice for that.

In general, you can use server-side mail rules to delete (and generally not block, nor bounce) messages, though whether you (or even potentially the provider) can access the mail server varies by provider, and mail server. Check with your mail ISP for details here. Some providers have this capability. Some do not.

And locally, you can use mail rules within Mail.app or similar mechanisms in various other clients to delete messages from specific senders. Not all clients have this capability. If your mail client lacks rules — such as the iOS mail client — you can potentially have a computer system — a desktop that can remain powered on at all times — then that system can generally be configured to recieve and delete these mail messages on behalf of the script-less clients.

Changing the email address or having your mail hosted somewhere with access to the mail server are also options, though more disruptive.

I would strongly discourage bouncing the messages in general, and particularly in this context. Just delete them. Move on. Don't (further) engage. In any case, seek formal legal advice.
