How to set up automatically delete emails from blocked sender on iPhone

This application is preferred by many iPhone users because it is deeply integrated into iOS, as well as allows sending emails with attachments quickly to many different email applications.

On iOS, if you block a contact in your contacts, the Mail app will also 'blacklist' the email address associated with that contact.

However, by default, the Mail app does not completely block emails sent from contacts that you have blocked. Instead, it still receives these emails, marks them as sent from someone who has been blocked, and stores them in your inbox along with the rest of the emails.

If you don't want to see emails coming from senders that you've blocked, you can delete them from your inbox. This involves changing the Mail app setting to automatically delete emails from 'blacklisted' accounts.

Now, incoming emails from the people you blocked will be moved to the "Trash" section of the Mail app. If you want to view these emails, just open the Mail app and go to ' Trash '. Note that they will only be stored in the Trash section for a certain period of time.
