Blocked messages land in Spam instead of Trash?

jkc054 · 21 May 2025, 07:01 PM

A message that landed in the Spam folder I blocked. All future blocked messages are supposed to land in the Trash folder. That isn't happening. A blocked message still landed in my Spam folder. Why?

I thought any message, whether it landed in the Spam folder or the Inbox folder, once I blocked it, all future blocked messages are to land in the Trash folder.

I quite agree.

Are you sure it has exactly the same From address?

Fastmail support told me that messages received before I applied the block will will not automatically move to the Trash folder. I didn't notice that the message in question was dated 2 days before I applied the block. My boo boo.

I think if you move said message manually to your trash folder,the next time it should go there automatically..
