Not finding them in contacts? No worries — open any email from that address. Hit the "Actions" menu at the top, choose "Block Sender," and you're golden. And because store apps tend to dance around the topic, Scroll down to "Blocked Email Addresses" under Settings and click Block.
On the AOL Mail app, it's equally painless. Open a message from the offender, tap the three-dot menu, and select "Block Sender." Done. Your phone breathes easier, and so does your sanity.
