Other email providers

If you're using a different email provider, you can usually find the option to block an email address in your account settings or preferences. Look for a section related to spam or blocked senders, and follow the instructions to add the email address you want to block.

Remember that blocking an email address only prevents emails from that address from reaching your inbox. If you're experiencing spam or harassment, you may want to report the email to your email provider or the relevant authorities.
