Blocked mail not moved to Trash?

On my Mac OS Monterey. I have checked and double checked the Junk Mail settings to ensure I have enabled Blocked mail filtering and set it to "Move it to Trash"

Why does this not work?

Blocked mail not working on brand new iMac So I go to mail, click settings, then enable Junk mail filtering. Then click move it to the junk box. Then I go to the blocked tab and check Enabled blocked mail filtering. Then, radio button, Move it to the trash. And this morning I have about 12 emails that have the blocked symbol by them in my junkl mailbox. They are on the blocked list, so why aren't they going to the trash? I'm using a brand new (1 week old) iMac. I did however migrate all my stuff over from my old 2019 iMac. This is the version of Apple mail on my new Mac: Version 16.0 (3774.200.91.1.1) So is there some way of making this work? I thought the whole point is to cut down on how many emails I have to delete, yet so many turn up with the blocked mail symbol but they stay in the junk box, not being deleted. Grrrrrrr. Thank you for any help, Susan

Blocked Junk Mail Doesn't Go to Trash as Settings Require When I use Settings/Preferences to Block incoming Junk emails, it includes the option of sending the email directly to Trash. Even though I set it that way, the Blocked Junk emails stay in the Junk folder, but are marked with the Blocked symbol. This may seem like a small thing, but I have been inundated with incoming Junk in recent weeks, some of which does not allow it to be safely unsubscribed (they want too much information). So, I Block it. Functioning as Apple's settings specify would greatly reduce the amount of Junk I must sort through each day, and helps me not miss something important that was inadvertently sorted as Junk. I have two questions: 1) Why do I continue to receive Blocked emails at all (even though they do have the Blocked symbol)? 2) Why don't Blocked Junk emails go directly to Trash as the Settings specify they should? I am running Monterey macOS 12.6.7 on a late 2015 iMac. Working as specified would greatly reduce my chances of missing important emails which are inadvertently sent to the Junk file.

Blocked sender still appears in junk Issue: MacOS Mail settings direct blocked senders to the trash, but those emails still appear in junk. Is there a way to get this setting to work properly? Context: This is a repost of an issue dating back at least last year. Most replies to earlier posts were unhelpful, and none I saw provided a working solution. Saying that you also experience this, but it's not a problem for you, is NOT HELPFUL. Repeating Apple 101 instructions on how to set up junk and blocked mail filtering is not helpful. Helpful responses will either 1) detail a way to get iCloud services to automatically trash or delete emails that it recognizes as coming from a blocked sender, or 2) confirm that this feature is broken and needs a fix from Apple. Details: MacOS Ventura, on an Apple-silicon device: 1) Junk Mail / Blocked checked boxes: "Enable filtering", "Move it to trash". Despite this, all emails from blocked senders appear in junk folder. 2) These senders are recognized as blocked (blocked-sender icon is visible). They are not previous recipients, and are not in my Contacts. 3) Junk Mail Behaviors checked boxes: "Enable junk mail filtering", "Move it to the Junk mailbox", "Exempt" (all boxes), "Trust junk mail headers"

I have my junk empty every time I come out mail. Set up in your junk folder preferences. There is no choice to move junk to trash automatically. If you do not like the system then send feedback to Apple.

It will only move to junk for some reason.

I do not understand your answer. Junk does not move to trash automatically either. It is stored in the junk folder unless you create rules for every email you want to block. This is stupid.
