Blocked Mail not going to Trash -WHERE IS APPLE's RESPONSE????

you will not get an apple response here by any means

This is a user forum, you are not addressing apple here just fellow users

you can try contacting apple Support ->  Get Support (apple.com)

and or give them feedback -> Product Feedback - Apple

Thanks AlWeir, has been going on for years, seems Apple is complicit and chooses to allow it to continue. Still looking for a solution or Apples conscience to step up. I appreciate the response

Maybe you are adding a bit of drama to this situation. It sounds like Apple Mail (and GMAIL) probably apply the junk mail filters first and other rules as well as the blocked mail filters second. (I haven't done experiments to verify this.) And your preference would be to reverse that order of things. I don't think anything quite as dramatic as "kickbacks" or "cartels" are involved here, as you had earlier suggested. Also, Apple is a company, not a person, so I doubt there is a "conscience" involved here, but rather the computers simply behave as they have been programmed to behave.

If you prefer a different approach for the filtering or blocking emails or handling of junk emails, here is the way you can express your preferences to Apple directly (these Discussion forums have user participants but not Apple programmers):

This is from a post from MGuerra back in April 2022 that you can no longer respond to (I suspect the response has been overwhelming).

FWIW, Threads are locked when there no activity for some time. Its seems the response was the opposite of "overwhelming".

Mail is really just as useless as Gmail is from Google. If you have a email blocked and it reoccurs then Mail should just delete it, not sent it to Trash or Junk (it is a waste of time for the enduser), but both Mail and Gmail just put it in the Junk folder.

I wish I could find a easy workaround for this both in Mail and Gmail but I haven't yet.

"Blocked Mail not going to Trash -WHERE IS APPLE's RESPONSE????"

Given your expressed evaluation of Apple's handling of blocked emails, why would you want them, or any other company, managing your emails? My guess is that it would take one email blocked in error by the company and you would be shouting about how Apple/company blocked your email. I think you would be posting to get Apple out of your business.

Email spam and blocking is complex and has been an issue for years. Check with your email provider for blocking methods/apps available on their servers.

COMMAND+A

DELETE

All done

I just turned it on and it works just fine. Perhaps you have some competing settings that interfere. Of course, you can always just delete too.
