How to block emails on your iPhone

I have just tried this, fingers crossed it works.

Yeah I know . His instructions wasn't really clear , but basically you just got to settings , scroll all the way down til you see FaceTime , after presssing it go down to blocked list , press add new and just type in the name of the email sender and it pops up .. done lol

Blocking emails in iOS through either FaceTime or Phone Settings does not work.

Instead of using FaceTime blocking, I blocked through Call Blocking and Identification in Phone Settings.

I created a Contact labeled "A. Spam", to which I added a spammer's addresses from emails in my inbox.

This Contact was then added to Call Blocking (which states that FaceTime, Messages, and calls are blocked, but mentions nothing about emails).

Among the addresses under the "A. Spam", I including one of my own. I tested the setup by emailing myself. I received the email, so, it is evident that no email senders were blocked.

The only benefit to adding multiple spam senders to a Contact is that future emails from those addresses will be identified as "A. Spam", which will make junking them in iOS marginally easier.

NOTE: The "A." In "A. Spam" sorts the Spam contact to the top of my Contacts list for easy access upon selecting "Add to existing contact" in iOS Mail.

Thanks! That was clear!

I am encountering a sender who blocks their address. I've blocked them but somehow they get around it. It seems like they use the same address

This doesn't work, when you click from all it does is highlight it, you don't get any options at all, is there an alternative?

1 You copy email that you want to block

2 create new contact as email and done

3 come back to phone contact and find that email and scroll down you will see Block options.

Let try :D

I've already tried adding the email address to my phone book and blocking it and I'm still receiving emails from them.

None of the instructions are even available on my phone. I've done it before but can't figure out again. Is there another way?

It's way more than 5 years. Microsoft outlook could do this in the 1990's!!!

Very helpful and it works. Printed off your instructions and within blocking 5 e mail addresses I was able to do it without referring to the instructions. Easy peasy!!! Thanks for the advice.

Sorry but thats not true.

You van block facetime and calls by this method, but not emails, and thats what he/she was asking for.

Sorry guys I just went by what someone else said. But I just clicked on the website in the end and changed the email that was put on it by someone else

This doesn't work for email addresses, so you can't block emails.

It works for phone calls, messages, and face time.

But not emails.

This appears to have worked perfectly for me! Many thanks!
