Quickly Block All Future Emails From Selected Senders In Gmail [1]

If you're a user of Gmail, you probably spend some time every day clearing out the unwanted spam and other messages from your inbox.  And if your mailbox is anything like mine, it's probably the same companies who mail you every time.  Sign up for a special offer on one occasion, and you'll receive further offers every couple of days.

 

Thankfully, there's an easy way to stop this.  And you don't even need to download or install any additional software.

 

When you come across a message from a company or individual that you'd rather not hear from again, open the message as normal. Now move your gaze to the upper right hand corner of the message, next to the time it was sent.  There's a small button for a drop-down menu.  Click it.  One of the options on that menu is "Block...".  Choose that option, then delete the message you just read.

 

That's it.  You won't hear from that particular sender again.  All subsequent messages from that address will now go straight to your spam folder.

 

This is way easier than creating a specific filter, which is another feature offered by Gmail but which is more difficult to configure.  And it'll drastically reduce the amount of time you spend deleting the rubbish from your inbox.
