I just saw this on another website and I thought I’d share it!


In Gmail (NOT the mobile app):


1) Go to settings 

2) Click ‘see all settings’

3) Select ‘Filters and Blocked Addresses’

4) ‘Create New Filter’

5) Fill in the ‘To’ line with the address that you are receiving email for, but which doesn’t belong to you.

6) Hit ‘Create Filter’

7) Select what you want done with it. I chose to ‘Delete it’ AND ‘Also apply to # matching conversations’.

8) Move on with life.
