Simple Tip to Prevent Email Spam using Gmail
Spam Management:
To remove spam from your inbox:
- Check the box next to the unwanted message, and click Report Spam.
- The more spam you mark, the better our system will get at weeding out Spam messages. (If you make a mistake, click Undo at the top, or go into the Spam Folder, check the message and click Not Spam
