Block or unblock an email address in Gmail

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:

  1. On your computer, open Gmail.
  2. Open the message from the sender.
  3. At the top right, click More More.
  4. 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.
