Messages from some web services, apps, and newsletters often fill up your Gmail Inbox. Although some have unsubscribed, the number of promotional emails and newsletters has not decreased. That leaves you with no choice but to block emails in Gmail.
In this guide, we will show you how to block and unblock email addresses in Gmail. Since the Gmail mobile app looks exactly the same on iPhone and Android, we’ll cover them in a single section. Start.
1. Block Emails in Gmail on the Web
Gmail’s default filter can recognize and block irrelevant emails from your Inbox. The Service sends such emails directly to the Spam folder. However, some emails may escape the filter and remain in the Inbox.
So when you want to completely stop emails from specific senders, here are the steps to make the necessary changes.
Step 1: Go to Gmail on the web and sign in with your account information.
Step 2: Open an email sender that you no longer want to receive emails from in the future.
Step 3: Click the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of the email.
Step 4: Select Block “(sender)” and Gmail will ask for confirmation.
Tap Block and all future messages from that email address will be marked as Spam. They won’t appear in the main Inbox.
Create a rule in Gmail
The solution mentioned above only works with specific email addresses. If the company uses a different email address to send marketing emails, then you need to keep repeating that solution. But instead, you can create a rule in Gmail and block all future emails with a specific sender name and multiple email addresses.
Rules are also useful when you want to filter out selective words or any other events where companies try to hack your Inbox. Here’s how to create a rule to directly delete emails and send them to spam.
Step 1: Launch Gmail on the web and click the Settings menu with the gear icon in the upper right corner. Select the View all settings menu.
Step 2: Go to the ‘Filters and Blocked Addresses’ tab.
Step 3: Scroll down and select Create new filter.
Step 4: Add an email address, type a subject or enter the word you want to block on Gmail.
Step 5: Click Create filter and enable the checkbox next to Remove it.
Select Create filter and Gmail will automatically run it after receiving an email that matches the filter criteria.
Alternatively, you can create filters right from the email.
Step 1: Open the email in Gmail and click on the three-dot menu in the upper right corner.
Step 2: Select Filter messages like this, add related conditions and steps from the following menu.
It’s much easier to block and delete emails from a single sender.
Unblock Emails in Gmail
If you want, you can easily unblock emails in Gmail. This is the way.
Step 1: Go to Gmail Settings (refer to the steps above).
Step 2: Open Filters and Blocked Addresses.
Step 3: Scroll down and find all blocked email addresses. Select unblock next to email ID and confirm your decision.
2. Block Email in Gmail Mobile
Gmail has an identical interface on iPhone and Android. For this tutorial, we will be using a screenshot of the Gmail app on iPhone. You can follow the same process on Gmail for Android to block emails.
Step 1: Open Gmail on iPhone.
Step 2: Tap the email you want to block.
Step 3: Select the three-dot menu at the top and tap Block “sender” at the bottom.
Unlike desktop Gmail, mobile apps won’t ask for any confirmation and immediately block senders from cluttering your Inbox. Unfortunately, you can’t set Gmail filters from the mobile app.
Unblock Email in Gmail Mobile
You can also unblock senders in the Gmail mobile app.
Step 1: Open Gmail on your phone.
Step 2: Tap the hamburger menu in the top left corner and open Spam.
Step 3: You will find all blocked senders here. Tap a relevant email and open it.
Step 4: Select Unblock senders in the gray box and Gmail will start allowing senders to access your main inbox.
Manage email in Gmail like a pro
Before you miss out on important emails in the sea of spam emails in your Gmail Inbox, use the tricks above and start blocking unknown and unrelated senders.
