The eternal struggle against junk mail on Android!
There are several ways to filter out unwanted emails on your Android device. Here are a few methods:
- Native Email App Filter: Most Android email apps, such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Outlook, have built-in filters that allow you to block or delete unwanted emails. You can usually find these filters in the app's settings or preferences.

- Custom Filters: Many email providers, such as Gmail, allow you to create custom filters to automatically sort, forward, or delete emails based on specific criteria, such as sender, subject, or keywords.
- Blacklisting: You can also add specific senders or domains to your email app's blacklist to prevent them from sending you emails in the future.
