My father-in-law has an iphone and ipad. I was trying to show him how to block unwanted emails but I couldn't find the "blocked sender options" on either of his devices - which I have on my iphone. I did a software update but it didnt help.
Any suggestions on what I could do?
Thanks.

You can block phone calls, don’t think you can block emails.
You can move the offending email to the junk folder, and next time they email you, it will go straight to Junk.
You block the sender after you receive a call from someone you don’t want to call again. In recent calls select the one you want to block, click the I (information) and scroll down to block this caller


Any emails I don’t want I mark as “spam” and the next time you receive from the same person it goes straight to the spam folder
On my Hotmail e-mails, you can block 'junk mail' by clicking on the arrow next to 'not junk' and it brings up 'not junk, phishing and block', so you can just click on block.
If the unwanted email is in your inbox, I just move it to junk and block it from there.
I hope this makes sense? :o)
Just found you can block emails by hitting the little dots next to the reply arrow and you can block the sender

Just to clarify, it is emails not phonecalls that he wants to block.
On my iphone I can click on an unwanted email, click on the sender name and when i click on it again I have the option to block the contact. I can't do that on his device.
Just looked at my emails and when you are reading an email, if you click on the arrow next to 'junk' it brings up the option to block :o)
What is he using - the build in Mail app or another eg. GMAIL etc.

Tuvok he has an aol email and uses the mail app on the phone and ipad.
Leecon and calmck I cant seem to see how to find those block options? calmck - I don't have little dots beside the reply arrow, and
Leecon - the arrow doesn't give me the option to block?
Just setup the Mail app and the only thin I can see is to use the flag icon and select Move to Junk
If I want to block and e-mail I right click on it, a menu opens click junk, then block
Question Author
Thanks Tuvok - but he would prefer to block them.
Ubasses - it is on an ipad or iphone so how does right-click work?

It just seems strange that I can do it so easily on my iphone but not on his?
Question Author
I'd like to get back to my Father-in-law about this issue, so I'm just wondering if anyone else had any ideas about why I can do it on my devices but he can't do it on his?
Thanks.
