How to Keep Strangers From Emailing You Via Google

We are not sure how many times you have wanted to email someone but didn’t have their email address. We also don’t know if that person you wanted to email was on Google+, and you knew that but still didn’t have their email address. So to fix that problem, Google has updated Gmail, adding a couple features to both mobile and PC versions.

The available selections are: No One, Circles, Extended Circles, or Anyone on Google+. So see people who may have been worried about their fragile Gmail inbox, there is hope for you yet.
