Q: Spark good, but is there anything better?

I have been trying Spark as an email client for my IMAP mail on my iPad.  Nice client, though what I really need is once a message is confirmed spam for some automatic filter setup to send the Spam to the Spam folder.  Any free Apps that do that?  I am running iOS 9.

    I really can't think of an email client for iOS that does that. On the other hand, I haven't looked too hard. All my spam filtering is handled server-side.

     

    I rather like Email, by the folks who make EasilyDo. They just released an iPad version. It automates a lot of things so you may give it a look.

    Spark already does what you're asking for:

    https://helpspot.readdle.com/spark/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=1032

     

    Copy/paste from the above link:

     

    When the message is moved to Spam, the mail server will catch this info and mark all the following emails from that particular sender as Spammer.  

    Note: Some mail services (e.g. Google) use their own spam-detecting mechanism which operating principles may conflict with certain status User selects for emails

     

    I think the key here is that it blocks "particular" sender. Spammers normally use randomly generated email address (and domain names) to avoid getting caught by filters.

    See my mail server does not catch that.  I have a cpanel based Linux server.  In some ways it is better it does not do that in case someone gets spoofed that I know.  What I noticed is that 95% of my spam the nickname of the sender, not the email address contains keywords that clearly identify it as a spammer.  While I do have Global email filtering on the cpanel, which I can set, logging into it requires a lengthy password which I can only keep at home.

    If I could somehow with the iPad filter by the sender's nickname that would be ideal.  And of course subject lines help too.

    You mean "Email" isn't distinct enough of an app name?
