Important notes
- Blocking someone's email address will prevent them from sending you emails, but it won't delete any emails they've already sent you.
- If you're using a work or school email account, you may need to contact your IT department for assistance with blocking someone.
- Be cautious when blocking someone, as it may not be effective in all cases, and it may also block legitimate emails from that person in the future.
