Google offers a free email service called Gmail. Gmail features an anti-spam policy just like other service providers like Hotmail and Yahoo!. Even while Gmail places many potentially spammy messages in their own folder and filters them automatically, occasionally spam messages manage to get through. By identifying a message as spam, you may quickly alert Gmail to the problem. Future communications from the sender will be automatically placed in the spam folder. This article helps you how to report spam in Gmail to refresh your Gmail Inbox and manage your Gmail account tidily.

You'll receive less spam in your mailbox the more spam Gmail learns to identify. By displaying the spam that found its way into your inbox, you aid Gmail's spam filter in its learning process. It's simple to report spam, because doing so not only clears your inbox of future spam like it but also promptly deletes the offending letter.

Note:

Blocking is frequently preferable to reporting messages as spam when they come from certain annoying senders. The emails probably don't appear to be conventional spam, so they might confuse the spam filter more than they would benefit it.

Use blocking solely for certain senders, such as those who forward your messages, and not for spam. Spam email senders typically do not have recognizable addresses that are constant. Blocking the lone email won't stop the spam from coming in because the address is typically random.
