Marking an email as spam on your iPhone involves moving it to the "Junk" folder — which helps you avoid an inbox clogged with unnecessary messages.
Once you've moved an email, Mail will take note of that email's sender and automatically mark future emails from them as spam.
Even after you've marked an email as spam, you can still read it. You'll just need to open your Junk folder — its icon looks like a basket with an X over it — and find the email in there.
Here's how to mark emails as spam on your iPhone in two ways.
