Easiest way to unsubscribe from annoying emails

[Jazzy]

It's common practice that newsletters from retail websites and the like include an "unsubscribe" link in their emails, but that's often buried under fine print and a swath of ads. At some point, unsubscribing becomes such a chore, it's easier to just delete new messages.

Some email providers recognize this, and have stepped in to make it easier to unsubscribe.

In Gmail, look out for an "Unsubscribe" link at the very top of your email, and Gmail will remove you from the mailing list.

In Outlook, the "Unsubscribe" link appears at the bottom of the message window.

Good to know.

Or you know, don't subscribe to a newsletter at all? Works for me.

In a real live spam email... you know,

Canadian Pharmacy has Designer Sunglasses with free Viagra for Sexy Singles in your area Selling Cars For One Dollar and Hot Stock Tips on your New Visa Card deposited from your Dearly Beloved Uncle in Nigeria from the Sweepstakes with your Gift Card and your Joke of the Day....

Yeah, that one,

In those, the UNSUBSCRIBE link just means you read your spam email and click the links in them, so your email address just became worth even more money to them.

I have a spam email specifically used for registration to websites etc. Always good to have a secondary email address for any registrations and online sign-ups you may endeavour.

Agreed.

At last count, I think I have SEVEN active email accounts that I check at least once a week.
