To block an email address in Gmail, you’ll first need to access your Gmail account. Once you’re in, locate an email from the sender you want to block. Open the email and find the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the message. Click on these dots to open a dropdown menu. From the options provided, select “Block [Sender’s Name]”.
This action will prevent any future emails from that sender from reaching your inbox. They will be directed to your spam folder, and you won’t see them in your primary inbox. Gmail will also display a confirmation message to let you know that emails from this sender are now blocked.
If you wish to unblock the email address later, you can do so by going to your Spam folder, locating an email from the blocked sender, and opening it. Click on the “Not Spam” button or the three vertical dots, and choose “Unblock [Sender’s Name]” from the menu. This will allow future emails from this sender to appear in your inbox again.
It’s a straightforward process and quite effective for managing unwanted emails. Blocking an email address helps to keep your inbox uncluttered and ensures that you only receive messages from sources you deem important.
