Capability Summary	Supports quickly adding a sender to the block list from the message list, and also supports manually maintaining both blocked and allowed lists with email address or domain rules.	Outlook for Mac supports Safe Senders and Blocked Senders in Junk Email Preferences, and also lets users block a sender from the inbox context menu.	Gmail official admin guidance supports allowlists, denylists, and approved senders, with address-level and domain-level controls.	Notion Mail supports sender-based notification allow rules, but its official help states that blocked senders from Gmail do not sync to Notion Mail.	Acrobat Sign supports internal recipient restrictions and related recipient-scope controls, but it does not provide a direct email sender allow/block list equivalent.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: list-level blocking and settings-based management are both available in one workflow; Distinct: supports both email address rules and domain rules.	Compared with WPS: similar sender allow/block management is available, but the official page notes that junk email protection is not available for Exchange accounts.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance is centered on administrator-level mail policy rather than a direct end-user sender list inside a personal inbox workflow.	Compared with WPS: sender allow behavior is limited to notifications, and blocked senders are not synced from Gmail, so sender control is less complete.	Compared with WPS: the official feature focuses on agreement recipient scope rather than everyday mailbox sender allow/block management.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to manage sender addresses or domains directly in a macOS mail workflow, WPS provides a more direct path for everyday inbox handling. Compared with admin-focused policy tools or weakly equivalent controls, it is better suited to individual users and team members who need quick sender management inside the mail interface.
