That may have been Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or some other email provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kindle simply receives the email coming into the account managed by one of those providers. Your Kindle email app doesn\u2019t put extra filters onto what you see on the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that you need to block the spam emails from arriving into your email account on your service provider. The rest of this article goes through how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, you may want to deal with the spam that\u2019s already clogging up your email app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Delete_Spam_Emails_On_Your_Kindle_Fire_App\"><\/span>How To Delete Spam Emails On Your Kindle Fire App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with junk email is that they can arrive in bulk. And it\u2019s very tiresome to have to delete them one by one to clean up your inbox folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here\u2019s how to get rid of them in one go on your Fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Open the email folder in your app<\/li><li>Tap the top email in the folder and hold it<\/li><li>Work down the list of emails and tap each one you want to bin<\/li><li>Tap the trash icon to delete the highlighted emails<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s look at stopping this problem at the source. Find the section in this article that deals with your service provider e.g. Outlook or Gmail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wait! Take the steps to block spam before deleting them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, you may want to delete the spam emails after you take the steps to block more of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most email providers let you open an unwanted email and notify the provider that this is spam that you don\u2019t want. So, do that before you delete them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_Spam_Sent_To_Your_Kindle_Fire_From_Outlook\"><\/span>Blocking Spam Sent To Your Kindle Fire From Outlook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of working within your Kindle email app, you\u2019ll need to log into Outlook itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this either on your desktop Outlook app, or you can work on the <a href=\"http:\/\/mail.live.com\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"mail.live.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website version<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outlook blocks a lot of junk automatically. But if you\u2019re seeing spam on your Fire, then you will want to set up some extra filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open one of the spam emails in Outlook. <strong>Be sure not to click on any link within the email.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top menu within the email has a Junk drop-down menu. Expand the menu and choose the Block option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outlook_junk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outlook_junk.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outlook_junk-300x108.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_Spam_Sent_To_Your_Kindle_Fire_From_Gmail\"><\/span>Blocking Spam Sent To Your Kindle Fire From Gmail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a Gmail account, then you\u2019ll need to log into it instead of working within the Kindle app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gmail website<\/a> or the Gmail app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this either on your desktop Outlook app, or you can work on the website version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have the option to report the email as spam and\/or block the email sender address. You can do both if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To tell Gmail that they should treat this kind of email as spam, you should click on the exclamation icon in the top menu. This is the \u201cReport Spam\u201d function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to block the email address specifically, then follow the next section. But if you first reported it as spam, you\u2019ll need to go find it in the junk folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Block a sender in Gmail<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the mail and click on the ellipsis in the top right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drop-down menu gives you the option to block the email address of the sender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"335\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gmail_block.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gmail_block.jpg 335w, https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gmail_block-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_Spam_Email_With_Other_Providers\"><\/span>Blocking Spam Email With Other Providers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many other email providers, so I won\u2019t go into them all. I covered Outlook and Gmail in previous sections as they are probably the most common ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, I\u2019ll say that you\u2019ll need to log into the email provider\u2019s website and access the junk email there. The provider will have an option to block the sender&#8217;s email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/how-to-spot-email-spoofing\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"388\">how to spot email spoofing<\/a> &#8211; this is when senders make their spam emails look like they are from other legitimate companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use PayPal, then we have a specific article on <a href=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/fake-paypal-notification-emails\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"386\">spotting fake PayPal emails<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we have an article on <a href=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/two-amazon-accounts-on-one-kindle\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"383\">how to use two Amazon accounts on your Kindle Fire<\/a>, which can be a little tricky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you seeing too much spam email on your Kindle Fire?
