Bulk Unsubscribe from Emails in Gmail
To make it clear upfront this article is not against subscribing to newsletters. In fact, newsletters are a great way to get deals, updates etc. delivered directly to your mailbox. But here is the catch, you might have had expectations from a particular website newsletter. But it didn’t live up to your expectations and you didn’t receive anything that added value to you. In these cases, it is wise to remove them from your list as suggested by many Email productivity hacks.
Here are 2 easy ways you can unsubscribe from Emails in Gmail.
Method 1: Using Gmail Website
This feature is only available on Gmail website and you won’t find in their app.
Gmail offers an easiest possible way to unsubscribe from Emails. For specific Emails, it gives Unsubscribe link to the right of the Email address of the sender when the Email is opened. Click on it to cut yourself off from their mailing list.
There are two limitations with this method. First, it is not recommended if you wish to unsubscribe from a large number of newsletters. As going through all the Emails to find newsletter Emails and unsubscribing individually will take a lot of time.
Second, you won’t find that Unsubscribe link for all the newsletters. At least, I didn’t find them for certain newsletters in my case.
So, let us move on to the second method which takes care of these restrictions and allow to unsubscribe from Bulk Emails in Gmail.
