If you get junk/spam from someone you know (like your bank or clinic), then you are good to click the unsubscribe button. If it is standard unwanted spam, mark as junk without opening it if you can.

Re: Minimizing exposure to phishing attempts
I agree with Randy, if you are getting hundreds of spam every day. If you only get a few, there is a good built-in method, but it takes time and repetition to become effective. It is the email filter

Re: Minimizing exposure to phishing attempts
Depends upon the device you are using, but click on the arrow to the right of the sender¡¯s name. It may be hidden. Scroll down to Block. But as I said earlier, don¡¯t waste a lot of time blocking

Re: clicking on website shows a page about the website but unable to get to site
Apologies, Sew, but I¡¯m not certain what you¡¯re describing. If you receive an email containing an embedded URL, Apple¡¯s Mail app will often show a small preview from the linked page rather than

Re: Minimizing exposure to phishing attempts
The easiest and best way, IMHO, to deal with spam is to purchase and install SpamSieve, follow the directions for training it (easy enough to do), and then sit back and watch as it almost magically

Re: Minimizing exposure to phishing attempts
Don¡¯t bother blocking most spam email. Their e-ddresses change all the time with the same body. Block just the ones that repeat the same sending e-ddresses like bad retailers. Brent

Re: Minimizing exposure to phishing attempts
Yes, I unsubscribe if I know the senders. Actually, I used to unsubscribe quite a lot of junk but not all! Once in awhile there¡¯d be an annoying unknown sender and sometimes I¡¯d unsubscribe them.

I do similarly as Pat. Only in my case Apple¡¯s filters catch most of the spam, but unfortunately, sometimes catch emails from the domain groups.io. So without opening the spam, I do a quick rolling
