Junk to Trash

When I delete ALL Xfinity junk emails to trash, the trash file always contain 1-2 emails that were not in the junk. It is always from the same sender that are added to the trash from junk files. The involved senders have been blocked and reported to Xfinity via their missed spam function multiple times. This happens on both my iPad and iPhone. Any help/insight how to stops this would be appreciated.

@user_egtfse That sounds super frustrating, especially since you’ve already taken the right steps by blocking the senders and reporting them as spam. If emails from specific senders keep getting moved to Trash instead of staying in Junk, here are a few things to check and try:

1. Check Your Email Filters

Sometimes, email rules or filters can override junk mail settings.

  • Go to Xfinity Webmail (connect.xfinity.com) on a browser.
  • Click the gear icon ⚙️ (Settings) > Mail Settings > Filter Rules.
  • Look for any rules that might be moving emails to Trash automatically and adjust or delete them.

2. Confirm Blocked Senders Are in the Right List

Blocking senders should stop their emails from even reaching your inbox:

  • In Xfinity Webmail, go to Settings > Security > Email Safe List & Blocked Senders.
  • Make sure the senders are actually added to the blocked list.
  • If they're still getting through, try removing and re-adding them to refresh the block.

3. Clear Cached Email Data on Your Devices

Since this happens on both your iPhone and iPad, it could be a sync issue. Try this:

  • Log out of your Xfinity email on both devices.
  • Delete and re-add your Xfinity email in your Mail settings (this forces a fresh sync).
  • Restart your devices and check if the issue continues.

4. Test Deleting Emails One at a Time

Instead of deleting all junk emails at once, try deleting them one by one and see if certain emails consistently land in Trash instead of disappearing.

 

Let me know if any of these help! Hopefully, we can get those stubborn emails to stop sneaking into your Trash.

Although the original problems has been greatly minimized it still happens to a lesser degree.  I'll continue to work on it and monitor.   Thank you for your help
