Junk mail I get 1000 junk emails a day. Is there a way to get rid of these or do I need to abandon the email account? I have spent time marking some as junk but it is so time consuming. There is no way to mark them junk in a group like there is to delete.

How can I bulk-block disgusting spam emails? I get vile and disgusting emails in my junk mail folder and the volume of them is getting much greater recently (in the past few weeks). I am using IOS 16.5 I have been doing the edit/select all/delete and then going to the trash and repeating edit/select all/delete from the trash to get rid of them, but frankly, it feels like shoveling snow in a snowstorm. In the past few days, I have started blocking the sender, but there seems to only be one way of doing this and it is to block individual emails and this is a time-consuming process, and I’m not sure it’s making a significant difference (does blocking even help? Or are spammers savvy in creating new sender names?) I have set advanced filters with specific wording for junk mail on my Mac per the advice in apple support, but again, this doesn’t seem to be helping either. If blocking DOES help and I’m just not seeing the results quite yet, it would be very helpful be able to allow blocking of multiple messages at the same time, and for individual blocking, it would be most helpful if the placement of the “block” in the bottom of the dropdown box could be moved up so that I didn’t have to add a step of scrolling down in the dropdown box to select “block.” Any help you can offer would be wonderful. I don’t like seeing these disgusting emails anywhere in my personal emails, even in junk or trash.

Hello trainersam,

Unfortunately, once your email is out there is is very hard to stop spammers and scammers. You can try setting up mail inbox rules to try a filter these out and have them deleted, but this also isn't 100% either.

Use rules to manage emails you receive in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support

I would also suggest looking into Hide My Email with iCloud+

What is Hide My Email? - Apple Support

I can help you with mailbox rules if needed!

I hope this helps!
