Also Know, how do I block spam in Gmail? Gmail users can now block specific email addresses with just two clicks. In the top right hand corner of a message, click the drop-down menu button (upside down triangle), and select "block." (It appears with the name of the sender in quotes.) Any future messages from the blocked addresses will land in the spam folder.

Correspondingly, will spam emails eventually stop?

Filtering the mail is particularly helpful if you are unlucky enough to receive offensive spam. In most instances, if you do not respond to the mail, it will stop in a short period of time. Be patient, and it will eventually stop.

How do spammers get your email address?

There are several common ways that spammers can get your email address:

• Crawling the web for the @ sign. Spammers and cybercriminals use sophisticated tools to scan the web and harvest email addresses.
• Making good guesses… and lots of them.
• Tricking your friends.
• Buying lists.
