Blocked email senders NOT getting deleted as preferences specify

Blocked email senders are NOT getting deleted and I have set the preferences correctly.


*Enable Blocked Mail Filtering


*Move it to the Trash


Still the blocked emails end up in the JUNK mail folder and I have to manually delete them.


And of course I have added these senders to the Blocked List.

Mac mini, macOS 11.3

If Junk mail is not working for you as expected you can turn it off in Mail>Preferences.

Then what is the purpose of this "blocking" that doesn't block? It's like "nyah, nyah.....you did that extra work and you can't stop me. haaa haaa."


Just what I need an extra reminder that the messages are spam.


According to the dictionary, blocked means to halt or cease or preent penetration. It does not offer a definition of reminding you that you received something you din't want.
