How to Unsubscribe From Emails

Mailing lists are a great way to stay up-to-date with your favorite people, places, topics, and other things. However, sometimes interest in a mailing list goes away. When you no longer want to receive emails from a mailing list, unsubscribe from those emails.

Use an Unsubscribe Service
If you subscribe to several mailing lists and you want to clean up your inbox at one time, use an unsubscribe service. There are several websites where you can access all your mailing lists from one place and unsubscribe from a mailing list by selecting it.
IMPORTANT:- Unsubscribe services search your inbox to find messages with an unsubscribe link. To use these services, you’ll need to grant these services access to your inbox.
One popular unsubscribe service is Unsubscriber. To get started with Unsubscriber, sign up at the Unsubscriber website. After you sign up, an Unsubscribe folder is added to your inbox.
NOTE :- Unsubscriber works with Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, and most IMAP enabled mailboxes. Unsubscriber discontinued service for Gmail on March 31, 2019, due to changes in Gmail’s Terms of Service.
When an unwanted email is delivered to your inbox, drag it to the
Unsubscribe folder. The sender is automatically notified that you want
to unsubscribe. Emails from these senders are blocked from your inbox
and are stored in the Unsubscribe folder until you are unsubscribed from
the mailing list.
Use an Unsubscribe Email App
If you access your email from a mobile device, use one of the unsubscribe email apps to remove your email address from mailing lists.
Unroll.Me is a popular unsubscribe email app that lists all of your subscription emails and provides a one-click method to unsubscribe.
