Unwanted emails???

I've been getting many unwanted emails, I've added blocking to each of these items, but they still appear in my Junk folder. I have to trash each one individually! There should be a way to simply eliminate these unwanted emails, just as simple as blocking them, such as "Block and Delete FOREVER"! In this particular case they are all financially based, I've tried to unsubscribe to absolutely No avail!!!

If they come from the same sender, you could simply create a rule in mail (preferences > rules) that will move those messages to the trash. Otherwise, most simply end up in junk mail.


You can also customize your junk mail settings in mail preferences too.


Unsubscribe should work for legitimate businesses. But, in the past some people used unsubscribe forms to get more information from users. Just delete the messages.

If the sender or the message attributes are consistent, then mail app rules (mentioned above), and mail provider rules (iCloud can filter messages using some rules, as can other mail providers).


For the more typical spam with varying mail sources and message attributes, I’ve been using SpamSieve for some years, and that works well.
