The steps in this article are going to show you how to have your iPhone 11 automatically delete emails that were sent from email addresses that you have blocked.
- Your iPhone deletes these emails based off of contacts that you have blocked on the iPhone. This isn’t affected by any email addresses that you may have blocked through your email provider.
- By default your iPhone will keep these emails in your inbox, but it will mark the message as being sent from a blocked sender.
- You can remove someone from the blocked sender list by choosing the “Blocked” option on the “Mail” menu, tapping the “Edit” button, then touching the red – next to the contact to remove from the block list.
The ability to block text messages and phone calls from specific phone numbers is a great feature on the iPhone.

Our guide below will show you how to set this up so that emails from blocked senders will be deleted automatically.
