Additional tips:
- You can also report spam emails to Gmail by clicking on the "Report spam" button in the email.
- If you're using Gmail's IMAP or POP3 settings, you may need to configure your email client to block incoming mail from specific senders or domains.
- If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to check its settings to see if it has a built-in feature to block incoming mail.
