Most
people love Gmail, or are at least using the service, but it's not
perfect. You can't block people with a single click, unlike on Facebook. If you've simply been getting
too many emails from a website, you might be better off looking for an
unsubscribe link in the email to stop those mails.

If
you're sure that you're done with mails from that email address, then
you can set up a filter to delete the mails on their way to your inbox,
with the following steps:

From YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ Emails)
1.
Open Gmail > sign in > click the tiny
down arrow (next to the blue search button) on the search bar at the
top.
2. In the From field, type the email address you want to
block. You may type a specific email address (xyz@abc.com) or an entire
domain (@abc.com) > click Create filter with this search > check
Delete it > click Create filter. This will send those emails directly
to the trash folder. You won't get any notifications for these emails
and they will be deleted forever 30 days later.
3. If you have
an offending email open, you can click the down arrow next to the reply
button on the top-right of the message > Filter messages like this.
Now follow the instructions in the previous step.
Gmail doesn't offer a way to let you stop
emails from being sent to your email address, so if you want to
block emails from certain addresses, the method mentioned above is your
best bet.
