How to block a mail address in gmail

To block a mail address in Gmail, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Block a sender's email address

  1. Open your Gmail inbox.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  5. Click on "Create a new filter".
  6. In the "From" field, enter the email address you want to block.
  7. Click on "Create filter".
  8. In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "Block".
  9. Click on "Create".

Method 2: Block a sender's email address from a specific email

  1. Open the email from the sender you want to block.
  2. Click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the email.
  3. Select "Block [sender's email address]" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Confirm that you want to block the sender by clicking on "Block" in the pop-up window.

Method 3: Block a sender's email address using the "Report spam" feature

  1. Open the email from the sender you want to block.
  2. Click on the "Report spam" button at the top of the email.
  3. Confirm that you want to report the email as spam by clicking on "Report spam" in the pop-up window.
