Description

Block annoying emails in Gmail™. Say goodbye to unwanted newsletters, individuals, and other uninvited email senders.

"Gmail does an excellent job of blocking spam, but sometimes you just want to go the extra mile and prevent some mail from ever reaching your account." - Lifehacker

"If you’re looking to block unwanted emails, particularly from certain senders who send you unsolicited messages, an extension for Google Chrome called Block Sender is a great solution." - Make Tech Easier

"Makes this process very easy and will prevent you from getting inundated with pointless emails" - Business Insider

Do you get annoying email?

With Block Sender for Gmail™, you can block any email permanently in one click and automatically send a fake error message back to the sender. No more complicated filters to setup. Works for email addresses, domains, subject line, keywords, and even IP addresses. Block anyone.

Try a few blocks for free or upgrade to get advanced features like bounce back messages.

POPULAR USES:
- Block someone from harassing you with unwanted email. Send them a fake "This email address is incorrect" error message.

- Block any newsletter you didn't subscribe for and never see it again.

- Social networks or shopping sites sending you email you don't want to read? Block it in one click.

FEATURES:
- Adds a "Block" button compatible with your Gmail account. When you get a message you don't want, block the sender permanently.
- Automatically create a fake "This email address doesn't exist" error message to appear in the other person's inbox.
- Optionally send a "You were blocked" email when a blocked user contacts you
- Create advanced blocks not natively supported by Gmail, like blocking via headers.
- Anonymous: Blocked senders won't know that the messages they send you goes to your trash immediately, unless you want them to know.
- Flexible: Edit or remove accidental blocks.
- Freedom: Set your blocks to trash messages, permanently delete them, or have them skip the inbox and be archived.
- Advanced Filtering: Block sub-domains, subjects, or even IP addresses when you upgrade.
- Insightful: Flag future messages from the same domain.


AND MANY MORE USES:
- Getting a lot of notification messages from Facebook, Twitter, or social media services you signed up for? Block them all.
- Set up simple filters without having to worry about the cumbersome options.
- Fake your email death for those people you really don't want to talk to. Ever. Again.
- Relationship ended horribly? Never see another message from your ex again.
- Can't block a particular address? Flag all messages from certain domain names or even top-level domains like ".net".

Its definitely a legit app. I used it to block spammers successfully. The filters feature is pretty useful in identifying different ways to block new email ids that someone might create to spam. I also like how multiple accounts can be linked to it so that the block is easily applied across multiple accounts. I wish I didn't have to use Chrome everytime to use this app, maybe it would be worth it to have this app installed on Safari as well? Overall definitely very useful app!

What a great service and company. Last year I had a very bad experience with my ex-husband stalking me and sending me horrible emails after our divorce. This app blocked all emails and I never even had to see them come through. This was a huge improvement in my well-being. I love having the control to add/remove any emails to block at any time. The customer service is outstanding as well. Ricky on the support team was especially helpful and went above and beyond with questions I had and great communication throughout the process. Highly recommend!
