Nowadays people tend to access an email account (a server) from multiple client devices. So while it would be nice to have the filtering ability on the client - IMHO the server is where you want the filtering performed.

Email filtering has been available for years for relatively small email apps such as pine. I'm pretty sure the iPhone I carry in my pocket is a more powerful computer than the Ultrix machine I used in the early 90s. Why should my mobile email app not allow me to filter or block as I wish? I do think it makes sense to implement.

I hope it’s in the next update (as well as putting the fonts back where low vision folks can use them more easily again).
