If you get unwanted emails, you can block the sender in Gmail. After you block the sender, all future emails from them go to Spam.
Block or unblock an email address
Important: If you get frequent promotional emails and newsletters in Gmail, you can unsubscribe:
- On your computer, open Gmail.
- Open the message from the sender.
- At the top right, click More
.
- Click Block "{sender}" or Unblock "{sender}."
Prevent valid emails from going to Spam
After you unblock a sender, their emails should no longer be sent to Spam. If you still find their emails in Spam, try these steps.
Manage suspicious emails
Important: If someone uses Gmail to harass, intimidate, or threaten you, they're violating Gmail's Program Policies. If you feel that you're in danger, contact your local authorities right away, and ask whether any cyber harassment laws apply to your situation.
- While Gmail tries to keep spam out of your inbox, some spam may get through. If you get spam in your inbox, you can report it.
- If you find a suspicious email that asks for personal information, you can report the email for phishing.
