Do you remember when we suggested the way block a user or also a channel on YouTube? Well, this alternative could be carried out with different types of environments and accounts at the same time, something that we will mention in a few articles of Vinagre Asesino, although for the moment we will dedicate ourselves exclusively to trying to suggest, the procedure to be carried out for block any contact from Gmail.
However For what reason should we block a Gmail user? The answer is very simple although, this situation will depend on each person and the situation that is living with any of them. If at a certain moment one of your contacts or even someone who has gotten your email writes assiduously, insistently and annoyingly, the most advisable (and healthy) thing is to have to block each of their messages so as not to have to read them never more.
Steps to block a Gmail user
Since we have given the respective antecedents, now you are the one who must decide whether or not you want to block any Gmail user, as long as he has sent you messages, otherwise, we will not have the possibility to block someone just by having their email, since it has not yet sent us any type of message that we can use as support to proceed with this task.
The first thing we have to do is log into our Gmail account with the respective credentials; remember to use two-step security to strengthen access to your account, something of which we already suggested previously in an article within this blog.
Now we will have to locate the message from the person who sent us to our Gmail account; If it does not appear in the first places of the received messages, then we could use the space above to place the name or the email of who we want to block.
Let's pay attention now to the little arrow that is towards the upper right side. At the same we will have to select to choose from its options, the one that says «filter messages like this«.
Once we have selected this option, another window will appear with different options; There we will practically not have to vary absolutely anything and worse still, the email of whom we want to block.
The only thing we need to do in the window that appeared previously and that we show in the image above, is select the link that appears in the lower right that says «Create filter with this search«.
Once this is done, a new window will appear immediately. There we will have the opportunity to see a large number of options, which we must choose according to our need for use.
In the case that warrants us at this time, there we will have to activate the box that says «Delete“Well, what we're really interested in is trying to get all these messages to be deleted automatically so that we don't review them at any time.
Of course, there are a few other options at the top that we could be choosing, if we do not want to block this user who has written to us at different times; for example, at the top you can choose the boxes to be able to:
- Archive the message.
- Mark it as read.
- Never send it to spam.
- Never mark as important.
There are only a few options that we have mentioned, although none of them suits us at the moment; In any case, it has been worth mentioning them since there may be a time when we need to use them.
Returning to our theme, when checking the "Delete" box we should also select the lower box (next to the blue button) to This filter also applies to conversations that we have had with this user. After having configured this window, we only have to select the blue button that says "create filter" and nothing else. From then on, every time this contact begins to write any type of message, we will not find out anything at all because they will be automatically deleted.
