If you require a more complex rule, please see Creating an Inbox Rule<\/a> below.<\/p>\n \t\t Right-click an email from a sender you wish to block, then select Block<\/strong> > Block sender<\/strong>. \n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n \t\t Right-click on an email from a sender you wish to block, and then select Block <\/strong>> Block<\/strong> Sender.<\/strong> \n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n \t\t Right-click (or control-click) on an email from a sender you wish to block, and then select Block<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This will add the sender of the selected email to your Blocked Senders<\/strong> list.
