How can I block a repeated email?

I have been repeatedly receiving the same email message for the past month.  Just today I've received it 11 times in a 5 1/2 hr. period.

You can create a Mail rule that will simply delete the message so you never see it.
Select the message in Mail
On the Mail Menu bar go to Mail > Preferences > Rules
Click on the Add Rule button
Enter a description of the rule
Choose If any or the following conditions are met
Choose From and Contains and the sender of the message already be filled in
Under Perform the following actions: select Delete message.
If the offending message is coming from more than one sender you might have to adjust the condition(s) to perhaps the message subject or whatever is common to all the offending messages.
If you receive other desired email from the same sender change if any to if all and add a second or even third condition that assures the selection is accurate and sufficiently discrete to target only the offending message. You can also flag the message as Junk and eventually Mail will learn the message is Junk and move it to the junk folder but that takes longer.
Do not return the message to the sender. If it is malicious spam that simply confirms your email address is real and encourages more spam.

  • How can I sent a repeating email?

    Greetings all,
    I want to set up the Mac mini I use in my office at work to send out a reminder every Monday morning to my colleagues via a common email address. I want to remind them to check various things they should be checking at the start of each week. I want to send this friendly reminder purely as a CYA measure, which is a suggestion my boss made to me a few minutes ago. I looked at setting up a calendar event to do it, but as far as I can tell, calendar events can only send email reminders to me. If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this, please let me know.

    You need to set up an Automator workflow which you then trigger from Calendar. This should get you going:

  • How can i block senders of email

    Is there a way to block a specific sender? By return address? I'm inundated with "info@" plus about a dozen numbers on a huge range of topics, none of them of interest.

    In Mac mail you can set up a rule to delete the message as it comes in.
    To block a sender, you have to go to the ISP/ mail service provider server.
    Check the ISP/ mail service provider site or contact them.

  • How can I block someone in my family from seeing my email since it's in the Icloud but we share the same Apple account?

    How can I block someone in my family from seeing my email since it's in the Icloud but we share the same Apple account?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address?

    How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address?  I am in the middle of a relationship ending and I want to RESTRICT myself from being able to send outgoing email to a certain email address. Please advise. I have no will power and I don't want to be engaged in back and forth email drama.  Thanks.

    Might sound kind of silly, but you could go into Contacts, the person in question, edit, and where it says Add Field, put somthing in like STOP, or DO NOT DO THIS
    At least that would get your attention, even if it doesn't block you from emailing.
    There just isn't much you can do to block yourself.  If you have a couple close friends, do something like an AA support group...call a friend and have them talk you out of emailing.
    I'm not trying to be smart alecky about this, actually trying to help, but there isn't much to offer.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool. Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

    how can i block email in Mail? just marking it junk only makes it show up in the future as junk

    One thought, your ISP likely has a very good and highly configurable Spam filter. If you go through their webmail interface you might find a huge number of options that may do as you require. This aasumes you use your ISPs mail service.
    If not try the webmail interface for the Mail provider you use.

    That's not something you can do from the built in Mail program. Check with your email provider to see if they have spam filters that you can access through their web interface.
