Hi Jennifer, Spammers are getting smarter, and as long as they have your right server address, it doesn’t matter what name. All you can do especially in POP email accounts in iOS12 is Mark the Spam messages as Junk & have move them to Junk:
Moving Spam Emails to the Junk Folder The iOS Mail app offers a couple of ways to move mail to a Junk folder—even in bulk. Among the convenient features that come with an email account that is web-based is spam filtering right at the server. Moving mail to the Junk folder in iOS Mail notifies the spam filter at the server that it missed an unwanted spam email, so it can stop it next time. To move a message to an account's Junk folder in iOS, open the inbox that contains the email: With the spam message open: Tap the flag button. Select Move to Junk from the menu. In the message list: Swipe across the message from the right to left just enough to reveal the More menu. Tap More Select Mark Select Move to Junk Cheers, Ronni 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 > On 13 Nov 2018, at 5:28 pm, Jennifer Lefroy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you Ronnie.
