Gmail is integrated with Google and is the functional platform for messaging segmentation with multiple functions so that every email sent and received is managed in the best possible way. But in all this scenario many times we receive emails from people or organizations in which we are not interested or in personal situations that can affect peace of mind..

 

In this type of event, Gmail gives us the possibility to block an email address to avoid receiving it from now on or to unblock it if it is the case. We will learn the step by step to block or unblock an email in Gmail.
