  2. Create a filter that blocks emails from specific senders, domains, or keywords.
  3. Set the filter to move these emails to the "Spam" or "Trash" folder.

Method 2: Use a third-party email client or app

  1. Install a third-party email client or app (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Airmail, Spark) that allows you to customize filters and block emails.
  2. Set up filters to block emails from specific senders, domains, or keywords.
  3. Configure the app to move these emails to the "Spam" or "Trash" folder.

Method 3: Use a spam-blocking service
