Introduction

Blocked mail filtering allows you to automatically handle emails from specific senders you’ve added to your block list. However, there may be times when you need to disable this feature to review blocked messages, troubleshoot delivery issues, or manage sender filtering through alternative methods. Apple Mail’s blocked filtering operates on your local block list, automatically moving or marking emails from blocked senders. This guide explains how to disable blocked mail filtering using Apple Mail’s Blocked settings, giving you manual control over how blocked sender messages are handled.

Prerequisites

• Apple Mail downloaded on your device.
• An existing email account set up in the Mail app.

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Access Mail Settings

Open Apple Mail from your Applications folder. In the top menu bar, Click Mail > Settings… (or Preferences… on older macOS versions).

Step 2: Access Junk Mail Behaviours

In the pop-up window, click the Junk Mail tab, and click the Blocked sub-tab.

Step 3: Disable Filtering

Uncheck the Enable blocked mail filtering checkbox. This prevents Apple Mail from automatically moving emails from senders on your local block list to the Trash or marking them.

Conclusion

Disabling blocked mail filtering through Apple Mail’s Blocked settings provides flexibility in managing emails from blocked senders. This option allows you to manually review messages from your block list or troubleshoot filtering issues while maintaining control over your email management workflow.
