How to block unwanted emails on macbook pro

There are several ways to block unwanted emails on a MacBook Pro:

  1. Junk Mail Filter: macOS has a built-in junk mail filter that can help block unwanted emails. To enable it:
    • Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
    • Select the "Filter junk mail" checkbox.
    • Choose the level of filtering you want: "Low", "Medium", or "High".
  2. Block Senders: You can block specific senders by adding their email addresses to your "Blocked Senders" list:
    • Open Mail and select the email from the unwanted sender.
    • Click on "Mail" > "Block Sender" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + B).
    • Confirm that you want to block the sender.
  3. Mark as Junk: You can also mark individual emails as junk, which will help the junk mail filter learn to recognize similar emails in the future:
    • Open the unwanted email and click on the "Mark" button.
    • Select "Mark as Junk" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Third-Party Email Clients: If you're using a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you can block unwanted emails using their built-in features.
  5. Spam Filters: Some email providers, like Gmail, offer spam filters that can help block unwanted emails. You can set up these filters in your email account settings.
  6. Use a Spam Filter Plugin: There are several third-party plugins available that can help block unwanted emails, such as SpamSieve or SpamFilter.

To block unwanted emails using SpamSieve:

* Download and install SpamSieve from the Mac App Store.
* Open SpamSieve and follow the setup instructions.
