HOW TO BLOCK UNWANTED EMAILS FROM ENTERING YOUR MAIL BOX.

There are so many times you check your email box and discover there are so many unpleasant messages from people you don't even know. To make things worse, these emails are spam, irritating offers and useless newsletters, probably from your various subscriptions on the web or from the forums you've joined. Worst of all, thesemails are entirely of no relevance to you and now you can't get to read mails from your friends again! Now you are thinking of closing the email account and opening another one. Don't worry, you don't haveto close your email, I'm going to give you some tips on how you can stop those useless mails from trooping into your mail boxok? With the tips, you can block individual email addresses, or even the entire domain from which you do not want to recieve mails. Ok, let's get started. For Gmail users *. Log into your gmail account *. At the top right corner, click on mail settings (if you're on mobile, and cannot see it, scrollto the bottom of the page andclick on view html ) *. under mail settings go to filters, you'll see an option create a new filter , click on it. *. in the from field, type the emailaddress which you want to block from sending you mails. For example, you may enter preachers@gmail.comin the from field to block all emails from the address, but if you want to block all the mails froma particular domain, then use this syntax: *@abc.comand all the recieved email from the domain abc will be blocked. where abc can be any email domain e.g. Yahoo, gmail and soon. *. Click on the next step and select the exploit you would like to take on the blocked emails. You may choose the option to delete the blocked mails if you wish. if you later change your mind and feel like unblocking the nails, all you need to do is just to delete the filter you made For yahoo mail users *. Log onto your account *. At the top-right corner, click on options *. A drop down menu will appear, click on more options *. In the left panel, click on the filters options *. Next, click on create or edit filters *. Click on add *. Give a name to your filter, in the From header field, type theemail address you'll like to block. E.g. Preachers@gmail.comand if you want to block an entire domain, just type the domain name in this format*@abc.comwhere abc can be any domain name e.g. Yahoo, hotmail, etc. *. Click on the option move the message to trash *. Click on Save changes For Hotmail users *. Log into your account *. At the top-right corner click on Options *. A drop down menu will come then click on more options *. Click on safe and blocked senders link under junk email *. Now click on Blocked senders *. Type in the e-mail address that you want to block under blocked e-mail address or domain. For example: Enter any email id@yahoo.comto block the e-mail address or just enter xyz.comto block the entire domain. *. Save your settings Now you're through, those foolish mails are no where to be found, infact, they can't even come into your mail box again! Your mail box is now free and clean! In my next post, I'll show you the trial on how you can open more than one facebook or twitter account with just one email address. This applies for only one gmail users.
