How Can I Block Someone From E-Mailing Me?

How can I block someone from emailing me?

• Sometimes I just want to block someone and not allow them to email me. I know there is spam, but that still is not good enough for me. How can I block someone from emailing me to my yahoo account?

• Answer:

  You can block an address and Yahoo will delete any future emails arriving from that address immediately----and you'll never see any of them. That email will NOT be returned to the sender (Yahoo deletes it), and they aren't notified that they have been blocked (for security reasons) They will think you're still getting their emails. Mail page>>options>>mail options>>Spam (from the list on the left)>>block addresses. Enter that exact address in the space provided>>click "add block">>then click "save changes" at the top of the page. ......................................… However: If you're referring to Spam----trying to block Spam is a colossal waste of time, since it's mostly ineffective. Spammers change their addresses with "each" batch they send out and never reuse one, so they slip easily past blocks. Just click the Spam tab on them and let Yahoo deal with them, which they do by sending them to the Spam folder (instead of the inbox) and deleting them at preset times.
