    Can the sender see if they are blocked?
    Community Answer
    No, they will just not be able to email or contact you. Only you can see that they are blocked.

  • Question
    I have messages saved in a folder from this person I wish to block - will they be deleted?
    Community Answer
    No. Messages that don't go to junk/spam can only be deleted if YOU do so. Because those messages are saved separately, they will stay until you decide to delete them. Once you block the sender, the emails which they send you in the future will either go to junk/spam, straight to trash, or not reach you at all. Your saved messages will remain.

    No, if a sender is blocked via the blocked list, then the emails will not be anywhere in your email. If you use an email rule, then the messages will be in your deleted folder.

  • Question
    When the blocked person tries to send an email to me, what will it show on their end?

    Top Answerer
    Nothing. To them, it will look like the email was sent, but the email will never actually reach you.
