How to block incoming mail in gmail account
To block incoming mail in a Gmail account, you can use Gmail's built-in feature called "Filters" or "Block sender". Here are the steps:
Method 1: Using Filters
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner of the page.
- Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on "Create a new filter".
- Enter the sender's email address or domain in the "From" field.
- Click on "Create filter".
- Select "Block" as the action.
- Click on "Create" to apply the filter.
Method 2: Using Block sender
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Open the email from the sender you want to block.
- Click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the email.
- Select "Block [sender's email address]" from the dropdown menu.
- Confirm that you want to block the sender by clicking on "Block" in the pop-up window.
Additional tips:
- You can also block senders by clicking on the "Report spam" button in the email and then selecting "Block this sender" from the dropdown menu.
- If you want to block a specific domain (e.g., @example.com), you can enter the domain in the "From" field when creating a filter.
- Blocked senders will not be able to send you emails, but they may still be able to send emails to other recipients.
- You can always unblock a sender by going to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab and clicking on "Remove block" next to the blocked sender.
