Method 3: Use a third-party email client or plugin

If you're using a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you can block senders using the client's built-in features. Alternatively, you can use a plugin like SpamAssassin or SpamSieve to block senders.

Tips:

• To block a sender using the Mail app, you need to have the sender's email address or domain in your contacts list.
• If you're blocking a domain, make sure to include the "www." prefix if necessary (e.g., "www.example.com").
• Blocking senders using the Mail app will only block emails from those senders in the Mail app, not in other email clients or apps.
• If you're using a third-party email client or plugin, you may need to configure the blocking settings separately for each client or plugin.
