Android junk mail filter

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Third-Party Email Filter Apps: There are many third-party email filter apps available on the Google Play Store that can help you filter out junk mail. Some popular options include:
    • SpamAssassin: A popular open-source spam filter that can be used on Android devices.
    • SpamSieve: A spam filtering app that uses machine learning to identify and block spam emails.
    • Clean Email: A simple app that allows you to filter out unwanted emails and delete them with a single tap.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
