Additional tips

• Be cautious when blocking someone, as it may not always be effective in preventing them from contacting you.
• Consider reporting the sender to the email provider or authorities if you're receiving harassing or threatening emails.
• Keep in mind that blocking someone may not prevent them from contacting you through other means, such as social media or phone calls.
