It may seem strange to you, but even after blocking the sender of unwanted messages in the Mail application, they will still come from this contact. The logic of the program is that it will still continue to receive emails, but will mark them as blocked. And only then the user can do whatever he wants with them.

Conclusion
Blocking a sender means that you will no longer receive emails from them. That is why we block the unwanted addressee. But in the case of Mail, the situation is different. So if you really don’t want emails from people you’ve blocked showing up in your inbox at all, set up your app to send spam straight to Trash.
What do you think about this logic for processing messages from blocked senders? Do you think the Mail app needs to fix this behavior, or does it make sense overall?
