How to Block Unwanted Email Messages in the Stock Email App in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

Samsung Galaxy S5: Have you ever wanted to stop certain email address or domain (it's the part of email address after the @) from sending you email messages? Luckily, the stock Email app lets you register the email address or domain as spam to add it to the spam list so that all email messages from them will be blocked. When an incoming email message from a blocked email address or domain arrives, you won't receive any notification and the email message will be redirected to the Junk folder automatically to keep your inbox clean from unwanted email messages.

How to add an email address or domain to the spam list in the stock Email app?
You can do so by using two different methods: from the email messages list and from the stock Email app settings menu.

Method #1: From the email messages list
You can easily register an email address or domain as spam from the email messages list by using the following steps:

1. Open the stock Email app. FYI, if you have multiple email accounts, the combined inbox will be opened by default.


2. Tap at the top left corner of the screen to open up the Email app menus.


3. Scroll down the menus to the required email account and then tap Inbox. All email messages sent to this account will be displayed here.


4. Select the required email message you want to block.


5. Tap at the bottom of the screen and then select from the following options:

• Block the sender: select this option to register the sender of the selected email message as spam. As the example, if the sender is myemail@example.com then all email messages from this email address will be blocked.


• Block the domain: select this option to register the domain of the selected email message as spam. As the example, if the domain is @example then all email messages come from all email address with this domain will be blocked.

The email address or domain of the selected email message has been added to the spam list.

Method #2: From the stock Email app settings menu
You can register an email address or domain from the stock Email app settings menu by using the following steps:

1. Open the stock Email app.
