How to block someone on Gmail

Most people like Gmail, or at least use its service. But it is by no means complete. You cannot block a person in one click like Facebook. If you are receiving too many emails from one website or email, you may want to do something to prevent these emails from reaching your inbox.

If you’ve decided that you don’t want any mail from a particular email ID, you can set up filters to automatically delete these mails before they reach your inbox. For this you will have to do this…

1. Gmail Open > Sign > Then click the down arrow next to the blue search button in the top right corner of the search bar.

2. Now in the From section, enter the email ID you want to block. You can enter a specific email ID (xyz@abc.com) or the entire domain (@abc.com) > then click on Create Filter > check Delete it > then click on Create Filter. By doing this, the mails coming from that particular email ID will automatically go to the trash folder. You will not receive any notifications for these emails and they will be automatically deleted after 30 days.

3. If you are on any mail and want to block that ID, then click on the down arrow button visible next to the reply. After this go to Filter Message Like This. Now follow the previous instructions.

Gmail does not allow users to block any mail ID to prevent it from sending mail. If you do not want emails from a particular mail ID, follow the instructions above.
