If you’re a Gmail user, there’s a good chance you’ve been blocked at some point. Blocking an account can prevent you from seeing your messages, reading your emails, or even using the Gmail app. There are a few ways to block an account:
- Go to the Google Settings page and select “Accounts.” In the Accounts section, select the account you want to block.
- Type “block gmail” into the address bar and hit enter. The blocker will start blocking all of your emails from that account.
- If you want to continue receiving email from that account but still be able to use the Gmail app, add it back into your “approved accounts” list on Google Play or in your settings on Gmail.com.
To permanently block someone on Gmail, you would go to their email address in your inbox and click the “Block” button. You can also find this option by clicking the gear icon on the top right of your inbox and selecting “Settings” then “Filters and Blocked Addresses.” This will open up a list where you can enter their email address.
One way to block someone from emailing you is to create a filter in your email program that automatically sends their mail to the trash folder.Another way is to add the person’s email address to your contact list and then go into your account settings and add them as a “Junk Mail” contact. This will cause any emails from this person to be sent directly to the spam or junk folder.
Gmail has a built in feature to block messages from certain senders. To block someone who has previously emailed you, go to the message and click “Block” under the “More” drop-down menu.
To block someone from your Google account, sign in to your account and go to the person’s profile. Once you are on their profile, click on the three dots at the top right hand corner of their profile picture and select “Block.
It is possible that your email account has not been set to block the sender. It is also possible that the sender has changed their email address since you blocked them.
Blocking on Gmail is the act of preventing an email address from sending you emails. This can be done by clicking on the “Block” button in the “More actions” menu when viewing an email sent from that address.
