Blocking unwanted mail in Gmail


From the Google Mail Help:

Sometimes you may get unwanted mail that isn't necessarily spam.

While you can't currently block messages from specific addresses or domains, you can set up a filter to send those unwanted messages directly to Trash.

To set up a filter, follow these steps:


  • Click the down arrow in your search box at the top of the page. A window that allows you to specify your search criteria will appear.
  • Enter your search criteria. If you want to check that your search worked correctly, click the search button. Clicking the down arrow again will bring the window back with the same search criteria you entered.
  • Click Create filter with this search at the bottom of the search window.
  • Choose the action you'd like for these messages by checking the appropriate box. (In this case, we suggest checking "Delete it.")
  • Click Create Filter.

Share your Google Site


If you took the Google Sites class and got your page up and running, you may still have one step left. If people are saying that they can't get to your Google site, or get a "password required" page, you may have your permissions set such that the public can't get to it. To change the site permissions, do this:
- Go to your website by clicking Sites in the black bar at the top of your e-mail
- On your main page, click the More button
- Choose Sharing and Permissions
- In the "who has access" section, click the Change button, and set it so anyone on the Internet can find and view the page.
- Click the radio button next to “Public on the web”
- Click the green “Save” button to save the changes
