If you’re using Apple Mail and want to take control of your inbox by blocking certain emails, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
Step 1: Identify the Email
First, you need to identify the email that you want to block. This could be a spam message, an email from a sender you no longer want to receive messages from, or an email that contains unwanted content.

Once you’ve identified the email, open it and select it. You can do this by clicking on the email in your inbox.

With the email selected, click on the “i” button in the upper-right corner of the email. This will open the email’s details pane.
Step 4: Block the Sender
In the email’s details pane, you’ll see a “Block” button next to the sender’s name. Click on this button to block the sender. A confirmation message will appear asking if you’re sure you want to block this sender. Click “Block” to confirm.
Step 5: Review the Block List
After blocking the sender, you can review the block list by going to “Mail” > “Preferences” > “Rules.” In the Rules window, you’ll see a list of blocked senders. You can add more senders to the block list by clicking the “+” button and setting up a new rule.
Step 6: Manage Blocked Senders
If you need to unblock a sender at any point, you can do so by going to the Rules window and selecting the sender from the block list. Click the “-” button to remove the sender from the block list.
