Set up a junk list

Block unwanted senders permanently and server-side.

With the junk/spam list (internally "Blocked senders") you block unwanted senders. The block works server-side and permanently — affected mail never reaches your inbox in the first place. This guide shows blocking from within a mail and managing the list.

1. Block a sender directly

1. Open a mail from the unwanted sender.
2. Choose the action "Block sender" (or "Add to junk list").
3. The sender is added to the list immediately; future mail from them is filtered out.

2. Manage the list

1. Open the Settings via the avatar menu (top right) and go to the Blocked senders tab.
2. You see all blocked addresses. Here you can add entries (individual addresses or whole domains) or remove them again.
3. Changes take effect immediately.

3. Extend with filters

For finer rules — by subject or keyword rather than sender — additionally use filter rules, e.g. "move everything with ‘prize draw' in the subject to trash". Blacklist and filters complement each other.

Tips

• If a sender keeps using new addresses, block the whole domain rather than individual addresses.
• Check it's really spam before blocking — a mistakenly blocked address won't get through (but you can remove it again any time).
