Junk mail filter for iPad Pro

I get dozens of spam emails every day on my POP and was hoping that the iPad email program would have a spam filter or some way to block spam email addresses. But sadly Apple Customer Service told me that Apple does not have spam filters, nor can the addresses be blocked. Could this actually be true? Or is there some secret spam-blocker, or some app? Since it takes such a long time to have to delete each email individually. Right now I have over 800 spam emails to delete. After only two weeks or so since I deleted them last. If I wasn’t so diligent I could end up with thousands of them. Sad

Sadly, while iPad is constantly touted as a replacement for a laptop, it is not. My MB Pro filters mail pretty well, and learns from my Junk identifications. It does not restrict to me using iCloud to filter, and does not blame the ISP.. The iPad does not filter Junk.. Every time I try to use iPad as a replacement, I find that no, it cannot replace a “real” computer. 2nd on my list is the inability to natively Print, and then within the Print dialogue, save to PDF. While iPad can “Share” to PDF, on a website, the results are very different, and not useful on iPad.

Hello,

This is partly true, Apple’s iCloud mail has a spam filter however the iPad’s Mail application does not. You can block contacts in Mail however this only applies to iCloud mail.
