Help required please, two years ago I bought some parts online from a Chinese company. Recently I am being inundated by Chinese companies offering goods, do not know if they are genuine companies trying to get business or scammers. Sometimes two a day so I must be on a list. For some reason not all go to junk bin and show in the inbox.

Anyone know how I can block all Chinese websites on my I pad?

Just click on the senders email address, in the drop down it will give you a choice to block this contact.
Nothing much else you can do. They are a pain in the butt. My junk folder gets about ten emails a day, all sorts of crap, just block and delete, never ever open, or click links.

Set up another email address and keep this one for formal, sensible, important email only.

Never give it out!

There's little you can do for your old email now, it's gone, dying, and soon to be filled with endless junk!

Seriously, have several email addresses, including 1 used for anything remotely dodgy or pointless.

A car reg: ABC123D@gmail.com are easy and often free and memorable to you, that's what I do!!
