Other email providers:
If you use a different email provider, such as AOL, Comcast, or AT&T, you can usually find the settings to block a sender in your account settings or preferences. Look for options like "Blocked senders," "Spam filters," or "Filters" to block the sender's email address.
Additional tips:
- Be cautious when blocking senders, as it may also block legitimate emails from that sender in the future.
- If you're using a third-party email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you may need to check the client's settings to block the sender.
- If you're still receiving emails from the blocked sender, it may be because the sender is using a different email address or domain. You may need to block multiple email addresses or domains to effectively block the sender.
