This will help Apple's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as junk and block them in the future.

Method 3: Use Third-Party Email Clients
Some third-party email clients, such as:

have built-in junk mail filters that can help block unwanted emails.
Method 4: Use a Spam Filter Extension
You can also use a spam filter extension like:
- SpamSieve (for IMAP accounts)
- SpamAssassin (for POP3 accounts)
These extensions can help filter out junk mail and move it to a separate folder.
Method 5: Unsubscribe from Junk Mail
If you're receiving junk mail from a specific sender, try unsubscribing from their mailing list. Look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email or contact the sender directly.
Additional Tips

- Regularly clean out your junk mail folder to prevent it from filling up and causing issues with your email account.
- Consider using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to help protect your email account from being compromised.
By following these methods, you should be able to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive on your iPhone.
