Gmail
- 1Click the Gear button and select Settings. Gmail does not have a traditional Block option; instead, you will be creating a quick filter that will automatically move messages from the specified sender to the Trash.
- You can also use an email block extension, available in the Google Chrome or Firefox extension stores. Some of these require payment for use beyond the an initial limit, but they are capable of making blocking easier. Check out the options and read the reviews before installing, if you want an easier Gmail blocking approach.
- 2Click the Filters tab. Click the “Create a new filter” link at the bottom of the page. You may have to scroll down to find it.
- You can also create a filter from any email. Open the email and then press theMore action button above the message. Then, in the list of options, pick Filter message like these.
- 3Enter the settings for your filter. Gmail filters are very powerful. You can enter a single address, addresses separated by commas, or entire domains by including the last part of the email, after the “@” symbol. When done, select "Create filter with this search."
- 4Select the desired actions for messages by checking the boxes you want. Check the “Mark as read” and “Delete it” options to have the mail skip the inbox upon arrival and be sent directly to the trash. When ready, press Create filter and all future emails from that sender will be sent straight to the trash[1]
- Check the Apply filter to matching conversations to clean previous messages that match your filter from your inbox.
Method2
Yahoo! Mail
- 1Sign in to your Yahoo! Account. Type in your Yahoo! ID and password.
- 2From the Yahoo! Homepage, click on Mail. This will open your Yahoo! Mail account.

- 4Select "Blocked Addresses". Type in the email address you would like to block and click the Block button.
- Tip: You can block up to 500 email addresses on one account. All messages received from the sender will be immediately deleted, and won’t bounce back as undeliverable.
- You can block entire domains by entering the domain address into the filter. This is useful if you continue to receive spam from different usernames under the same domain. The domain is the address after the “@” symbol.[2]
- To remove an address from the blocked list, highlight it and click the Removebutton.
Method3
Outlook.com

- 3Click the "Blocked senders" link. This will open a new page where you can add specific addresses to be blocked.
- 4Enter in the address or domain that you want to block. The domain is the part of the email address after the "@" symbol, and adding just a domain will block all email addresses that use it. Once you've entered in the address that you want to block, click theAdd to list >> button.
- Certain domains cannot be blocked. In order to block these domains, open the "More mail settings" window and select "Rules for sorting new messages". Click the "New" button and then select "Sender’s address contains". Type in the domain that you want to block. Check the "Delete these messages" box and then click Save.[3]
