Do you regularly receive emails that you would do without? Simply block the sender! On Gmail, the procedure could not be simpler and is done in a few clicks.
When you block a contact on Gmail, their messages will be moved directly to the Spam section. But if the blocking is very simple, the unblocking is on the other hand less obvious because it is necessary to go through the parameters of the messaging service. Alternatively, it is possible to block all messages from the same domain.
► Log in to the Gmail website and open the email whose author you want to block.
► Click the three dots to the right the answer button to open the options.
► In the context menu, click on To block [nom du contact].
► In the pop-up window that appears, click on To block.
► Open the settings menu by clicking on thegear icontop right.
► In the context menu, click on Settings.
► In the window of Settingsselect the tab Filters and blocked addresses.
► Swipe down the window to see the list of your blocked addresses.
► Click on the link unlock to authorize the contact again.
► You can also select several contacts and press the button Unblock selected addresses.
► In the application, open the message whose author you want to block.
► Click the three dots to the right the reply button and the author’s name to open the options.
► In the context menu, click on To block [nom du contact].
On mobile, the procedure is very different from the desktop version.
► Find an old message from the blocked contact in the Trash or Spam folder.
► Click on the three dots to the right of the button Answer and the author’s name to open the options.
► In the context menu, click on Unlock [nom du contact].
