How do you totally block an email from ever coming into your inbox in Gmail??

[mitch96]

I keep getting emails from Sophos or what ever they call them selfs. I don't ever remembering going to their website for anything. I keep unsubscribing for months now to no avail. I have filtered the email to go to trash and I don't even want that.. Sometimes I get the feeling that when I un subscribe I'm just telling me that my email address is alive and accepting their emails.. uff
Any Ideas?

1. Filters or Rules

Gmail calls these “filters”

2. Press the spam button.

3. That's what I've done and it just goes to trash. I don't even want to hit my mail account

Yes the filter sends it to trash. The problem is that it somehow also winds up a "cookie" is dropped into preferences file. They are snooping on my web searches.. I don't want that..

5. Use a different browser to read your email and never search, browse a site or do anything else...

...from that browser. If you use chrome to read your email, maybe install Opera for everything else. Only read you email from chrome.

4. Short answer, you can't.

If you were hosting an email server locally the way a business would, you could have your gateway de-pier the domain that forwards the email to you. You might also lose other emails. Your question is analogous to asking how can make sure that you never get snail mail from a certain entity.

7. That's what I was afraid of... I have another paid email account with POBOX.COM

I believe they will filter out unwanted emails...I guess the next time the offender shows up I'll change my email address to the pobox.com address...grrrrr. I hate these gymnastics...
