Blocked emails still show in "all mail"
macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6
I am using my Gmail address with the generic Apple Email app on my MacBook Pro.
In Mail preferences, I've created rules to block/delete mail from specific spam senders.
Mail from these specific blocked senders still show up in "All Mail", yet I assumed they'd be blocked and deleted just as has happened in all of my other folders/inbox.
Why don't my "rules" apply to my "all mail" folder, and/or how do I force this folder to comply with my rules as the other folders/inboxes have?
Is this simply an existing flaw of the rules option, and is there a work around?
Apple chat couldn't tell me what to do.
Thank you for your input!
