Hello @user_x3ookc

Setting Up a Filter Rule
  • Click the Gear icon (Settings) in the top-right corner.
  • Select Email Settings.
  • On the left-hand menu under Mail, click Filter Rules.
  • Click Add new rule.
  • Name your rule (e.g., the sender's name or "Block").
  • Under conditions, set it to From contains and enter the unwanted email address.
  • Under actions, choose Discard (to delete it completely) or Move to Spam.
  • Click Save.

@XfinityMatthew​ I don't get the option Filter rules. What else can I do?

You're not looking in the right place.  Click on the Gear icon then on Email Settings.

In the left pane UNDER Mail [the arrow must be pointed down] you will see Filter Rules.

I would like to get you verified so that I can get some information emailed to you about blocking unwanted emails. To begin, would you mind sending me your name and the address to your account in a Direct message?

 

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon

Click the "Start New Conversation" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it.

 

For an example of how to send us a Direct Message, check out this link.
