No, if you choose to ignore a conversation in an email client, the sender does not get notified or informed that you have ignored the conversation.

Hi @Russ Moores ,

Agree with Valhid, the sender does not receive any notification or indication that you have ignored their message. By the way, if it is useful, would you mind marking the helpful post as an answer? Which would benefit others who also has similar issues in forum.

Thanks Christy. I wish there was an option that included notifying the sender they have and will be ignored indefinitely. I find too many unsubscribe options do not function. I do use "Block" but that option only means future Junk, SPAM, and Phishing miss my inbox and take up space elsewhere, until file retention expires.
