How to Block an Email in Embarqmail
By Nick Peers
If you do not wish to receive email from a particular sender in Embarqmail, you can block that user to stop the unwanted messages. Embarqmail doesn't offer a blacklist where you can simply add the sender's email address; instead, you must create a filter to block incoming messages from that address. Creating a new filter is a straightforward procedure.
Step 1
Navigate to CenturyLink.com, click "Email" and then log in to your Embarqmail account.
Step 2
Click the "Preferences" button, located next to the "Compose" button and above the list of emails.
Step 3
Click "Mail Filters" to view your email filters, and then click "New Filter" to start a new filter.
Step 4
Type a name for your filter into the "Filter Name" field. You can use the email address that you want to block as the name of the filter.
Step 5
Choose "From" from the Conditions drop-down box and enter the email address that you want to block into the empty field.
Step 6
Choose "Discard" from the Actions drop-down box.
Step 7
Click "OK" to create the filter. The email address is blocked immediately.
