You Can Easily Block Trolls in Gmail Now

Do not disturb.

A handy new Gmail feature should make dealing with annoying people a bit less of a hassle.

The feature, which goes live now on the web and will soon come to Android, lets users block specific senders from being able to email them. (These blocks can be removed later.) Google says the feature should help put an end to "disruptive" emails.

Also going live today is the ability to easily unsubscribe to marketing emails directly from the Gmail Android app. The web version of Gmail has had this ability since 2014.
