How do i stop junk mail in my gmail account

The never-ending battle against junk mail! Here are some steps to help you reduce or stop junk mail in your Gmail account:

1. Use Gmail's built-in filters:

• Log in to your Gmail account and click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner.
• Select "See all settings."
• Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
• Click on "Create a new filter."
• Enter keywords or phrases that are commonly used in spam emails (e.g., "free," "win," "discount").
• Choose the action you want to take for these emails (e.g., "Mark as spam," "Delete it").
• Click "Create filter."

2. Report spam:

• When you receive a spam email, click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the email.
• Select "Report spam."
• Gmail will add the sender's email address to its spam filter.

3. Use Gmail's "Spam" label:

• When you receive a spam email, you can also label it as "Spam" by clicking on the three vertical dots and selecting "Label as spam."
• This will help Gmail's algorithm learn to recognize similar emails as spam in the future.

4. Use third-party spam filters:

• There are several third-party spam filters available that can help block junk mail in your Gmail account. Some popular options include:
  • SpamAssassin: A popular open-source spam filter that can be integrated with Gmail.
  • SpamSieve: A spam filter that works with Gmail and other email providers.
  • SaneBlackHole: A spam filter that can be used with Gmail and other email providers.

5. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails:

• Take the time to unsubscribe from newsletters, promotional emails, and other unwanted emails that you no longer want to receive.
• Look for the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email or use services like Unroll.me to help you unsubscribe from multiple emails at once.

6. Use a disposable email address:

• Consider using a disposable email address (e.g., Mailinator, 10 Minute Mail) for online sign-ups, contests, and other activities where you don't want to share your primary email address.
• This can help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive in your primary email account.

7. Use a spam-blocking browser extension:

• Browser extensions like uBlock Origin, Ghostery, and NoScript can help block spam emails from reaching your inbox.

By following these steps, you can reduce the amount of junk mail in your Gmail account and make your email experience more enjoyable.
