I always get email containing text an a graphic. The text is always different. So it is impossible to set the filter on this text. Only the text on the graphic is the same. So I need to filter on the text in the graphic. Is there a OCR function for text in a graphic on which I could filter?

it is called image spam and is used by spammers because mail clients can not read the text on the image.

Thank you for the info. But I would like to get a solution. There should be a OCR function for text in a graphic on which I could filter? Is such a function provided? If YES where?

What part of "mail clients can not read the text on the image: did not not get.

If you want OCR, you will not be finding it in email clients. You will be needing tools like spamassasin, but that is a mail server product and in reality should be deployed by your mail provider whoever that is.

You might find something that meets your needs in this lifewire article discussing specialist spam tools. https://www.lifewire.com/top-free-spam-filters-windows-1174416
