How to block unwanted mails in Gmail

[fredvries]

 

 

Suppose you are being stalked by a former lover or simply get emails via Gmail that cannot be thwarted via 'Reporting Spam' (the button with the exclamation mark). The question is therefore: how do you get your peace of mind back without reporting the sender to the police. 

 

The answer is easy. 

If you're viewing your mail on a computer:
1. Open the email
2. At the top right of the email, click the down arrow
3. Click Block [sender]
If you blocked someone by mistake, you can unblock them using the same steps. 

If you're viewing your mail on an Android phone or tablet go here for a solution.
