Block email sender in gmail
To block an email sender in Gmail, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Block sender using the "Block" button
- Open your Gmail inbox and find the email from the sender you want to block.
- Click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the email.
- Select "Block [sender's email address]" from the dropdown menu.
- Confirm that you want to block the sender by clicking "Block" in the pop-up window.
Method 2: Block sender using the "Report spam" feature
- Open your Gmail inbox and find the email from the sender you want to block.
- Click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the email.
- Select "Report spam" from the dropdown menu.
- Confirm that you want to report the email as spam by clicking "Report spam" in the pop-up window.
- Gmail will automatically block the sender's email address.
Method 3: Block sender using the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" feature
- Log in to your Gmail account and click on the gear icon at the top right corner.
- Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
- Enter the sender's email address in the "From" field.
- Select "Block" as the action.
- Click "Create filter" to apply the filter.
Once you've blocked a sender, Gmail will automatically move any future emails from that sender to the "Spam" folder. You can also report spam emails to help Gmail's algorithms improve their spam detection.
Note: Blocking a sender will not delete any existing emails from that sender, but it will prevent them from sending you new emails.
