You could make a note of each email address, but really, block the next few you get, and it'll be done. That issue of people getting around your block by sending from a different email address is fair enough.
What's much less fair is when this all fails, for some reason, and an email from a blocked address gets through. Just to make it extra irritating, when this fails on Apple Mail, it even tells you that it has failed. On either Mac or iOS, you get the message, but you also get an unhelpful error, too. The message gives you an option to go to Preferences , but that option is worthless when this happens to you.
It's not clear why this ever fails, and there is no apparent pattern to when it does. It works fine most of the time, but when it fails, there's only one workaround. It's irritating enough that you ever have to do this. However, if the workaround didn't seem to fix it for a while, you could get as fed up with doing all this as you are getting these emails.

But when one has, say, blocked numbers, finding one to unblock is almost impossible. Why not allow a search for a number? Or a way to put the numbers by area code etc?? We know that if we see the email headers or look at the html for emails to decide if they are legit or spam. Thanks for showing this. One might think it costs Apple money for each block as they made it so difficult.
When I opened it up, it was prepopulated with the phones I have blocked. So I guess from now on if we block a phone it will block the email from that person as well. Frankly blocking the phone requires I look up the process each time and is different on the iphone and mac. A block feature should require one click. The mail platforms should delete these accounts. Is this ability to block incoming mail a new feature, or was it there all along, under a different name?
Mojave is a two generation old system software at this point, so it will not have all the features of modern macOS releases like Big Sur does. Big Sur has interesting features but a lot of quirks and incompatible with some of my apps. I think there is a minor mistake in the directions. In step 2 you said to click on the File menu, but in step 3 you used the Mail drop down menu.
You said to click on File menu but that is wrong. Even the screenshot where preferences is surrounded by a red rectangle shows that one has to click on the Mail menu.
I do not know what Mac OS you are using but with I have checked and re-checked blocked mail settings and I still get all my blocked mail in my inbox.
So annoying. On Big Sur it simply sends them from each linked account to Junk. This is really not helpful. I have two-five legitimate senders who always go to Junk, so I have to carefully go through Junk before automatically deleting Junk mail.
If you blocked specific emails on some services, they treat those emails as spam, so they would be filtered that way. Either Mail or my ISP correctly recognizes it as junk. So it is sent to Junk Mail. It appears that moving blocked senders to trash does not work once the mail is filtered as Junk. So blocked senders of junk end up in Junk Mail, not Trash. Much easier in Mojave. Follow to the junk mail preference, then check perform custom actions and click advanced where you can select any number of conditions you wish, and perform any of a number of actions according to these conditions.
I have mine set as follows:. Conditions: Message is not addressed to my full name Sender is not in my previous receipients Sender is not in my contacts Message is junk mail. This removes anything I have marked as junk or blocked, as well as deletes it, eliminating the empty trash step to remove it. Far simpler than what is described in this article. I have my iMac Mail app set-up as you suggest and it still shows up in the Junk mail folder as blocked but does not automatically move it to the Trash.
I called Apple tech support and they said they would send the problem to their engineering group because I was doing everything right and still my blocked senders were sent to Junk instead of Trash.
Apple said they would let me know as soon as the engineers had a fix. Name required. Mail will not be published required. All Rights Reserved. Reproduction without explicit permission is prohibited.
