What happens when we keep getting unwanted emails in Apple Mail? Well, most of us block them to prevent annoying emails from messing up the inbox. But the biggest question is, does mere blocking completely sort out the problem? No! Unfortunately, the unwanted emails continue to flood the inbox even after you have put them on the block list. And if you want to keep those emails out of sight, you have to take the extra step of deleting them. But bother not, there is a way to automatically move blocked emails to the trash in Apple Mail on iOS and macOS device. Let me show how this blocked mail filtering feature works in Apple Mail!
Apple Maill marks the blocked emails so that you can easily spot them in the inbox and avoid opening them. The reason why the mail app doesn’t dump them directly into the trash is that it thinks that you might want to check those emails before removing them from the inbox.
