To unblock a sender, you can either open one of their emails from the spam folder and click or tap “Unblock [sender name]” from the menu or go to Settings > See all settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses and find the sender in the list. Then, click or tap “Unblock” next to their name.
Blocking a sender in Gmail is an easy way to get rid of unwanted emails and keep your inbox clean. However, it does not stop the sender from emailing you.
