If you’re getting emails you don’t want in your Gmail inbox, you can block or unsubscribe from the sender, or report the message to Gmail.
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.
Block an email address
When you block a sender, messages they send you go to Spam.
Tip: If you blocked someone by mistake, you can unblock them using the same steps.
Unsubscribe from mass emails
If you signed up on a site that sends lots of emails, like promotions or newsletters, you can use the unsubscribe link to stop getting these emails. After you unsubscribe, it may take a few days for the mailing list to stop sending you messages.
Check the box to the left of the message or open the message.
Near the top of the page, click Report spam.
Tip:When you click Report spam or manually move an email into your Spam folder, Google will receive a copy of the email and may analyze it to help protect our users from spam and abuse.
You should never unsubscribe to something you never subscribed to. You can delete the spam email or mark it as spam (junk). The best thing to do is when you don't recognize the sender (or subject) just delete the email without even opening it.
When you no longer want to see messages from someone, you can block a sender. Right-click a message from the sender you want to block, and then click Junk > Block Sender.
Go to your Inbox and open the email you want to opt out of. Click the Unsubscribe link below the sender's name. Click the Unsubscribe button in the pop-up window to stop receiving messages from this mailing list.
While filtering addresses some spam emails, you should outright block spam email addresses that are persistent, dangerous, or fake. And remember to report any internet scams you come across, such as Apple ID phishing scams and other threats.
You may suddenly start receiving a lot of spam emails for several reasons. Someone may have added your email address to a mailing list, you may have clicked on a spam email (which signals to the sender that your email address is active) or someone may have sold or shared your email address to third-party marketers.
An email unsubscriber app unsubscribes you from all unwanted newsletters and promotional stuff in a few clicks. You no longer have to sift through all of the emails you receive; Clean Email will do it quickly and effectively.
When you receive an unwanted email from a small business, consider unsubscribing instead of marking it as spam. Here's why: Constructive Feedback: Unsubscribing provides clear feedback to the business that their content is not of interest, without the punitive effects of a spam report.
In summary, here are the differences between blocking and unsubscribing: Unsubscribing stops only certain emails, like promotional emails, meaning that you can still receive more messages from this email sender. Blocking is usually the go-to option because you have complete control over any unwanted emails.
