Iphone email junk mail filter
The eternal struggle against junk mail!
The iPhone has a built-in email filter that helps to automatically move unwanted emails to the "Junk" folder. Here's how to set it up and manage it:
Enabling the Junk Mail Filter
- Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Tap on "Junk Mail" and toggle the switch to the "On" position.
Customizing the Junk Mail Filter
- Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Tap on "Junk Mail" and then tap on "Junk Mail Filtering".
- You can choose from three filtering options:
- "Strict": Moves most junk mail to the "Junk" folder, but may also move some legitimate emails.
- "Moderate": Moves most junk mail to the "Junk" folder, with fewer false positives.
- "Relaxed": Moves fewer junk emails to the "Junk" folder, but may also leave some junk mail in your inbox.
- You can also add specific email addresses or domains to the "Blocked" list, which will always be moved to the "Junk" folder.
Managing the Junk Mail Folder
- Open the Mail app and go to the "Junk" folder.
- You can mark emails as "Not Junk" if you accidentally moved a legitimate email to the "Junk" folder.
- You can also report junk mail as "Not Junk" to help improve the filter's accuracy.
Third-Party Email Clients
If you use a third-party email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Google Inbox, you may need to check their settings to see if they have a built-in junk mail filter. You can also consider using a third-party junk mail filtering app, such as SpamSieve or Clean Email.
Remember, no email filter is 100% effective, so it's always a good idea to regularly check your email inbox and junk mail folder to ensure that legitimate emails aren't being misclassified.
