There’s nothing worse than pesky unwanted emails from some company or brand that you really don’t care about. Sometimes, it can be hard to figure out exactly how to stop them from making their way to your inbox.

Read on to learn about:

• Methods you can use to unsubscribe from unwanted emails on different email platforms such as Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, and Yahoo

• An easy method using unsubscription services.

Let’s get right into it and unclutter your inbox!

How to Unsubscribe from Unwanted Emails on Gmail

Gmail, Google’s own email service provider, enjoys a reputation for being the most widely used platform in the world. 

If your Gmail is riddled with unwanted emails, here are the easy steps you can take to completely unsubscribe from them:

1. Open an email from the sender you want to unsubscribe from

2. Go to the sender’s email address right at the top of the email

3. Click the “Unsubscribe” text next to the address

4. Confirm that you want to unsubscribe in the small pop-up.

How to Unsubscribe from Unwanted Emails on iOS (Apple Mail)

Apple also has its own email service known as Apple Mail. As such, unsubscribing from unwanted emails is slightly different here than in Gmail:

1. Open an email from the sender you want to unsubscribe from

2. Go to the small banner that indicates if the email is from a mailing list. If you don’t see it, pull the email body down to reveal the hidden banner

3. Click “Unsubscribe”, then click OK on the pop-up.

How to Unsubscribe from Unwanted Emails on Outlook

In Microsoft’s email service platform Outlook, you can easily mass unsubscribe to emails you don’t want:

1. Go to the settings button (this looks like a gear cog) in the top right corner of the Outlook page

2. Click “View all Outlook Settings”

3. Go to “Mail”, and then go to “Subscriptions”

4. You can now click “Unsubscribe” next to any unwanted email addresses.

Alternatively, you can also do this individually by expanding the message whose sender you want to unsubscribe from.

1. Click on the email that you want to stop receiving

2. Scroll to the bottom of the email and find the “Unsubscribe” button

3. A pop-up will confirm if you want to unsubscribe from the sender’s mailing list. Tap “Confirm” to finalize your unsubscription.

How to Unsubscribe from Unwanted Emails on Yahoo

If you’re more comfortable with using Yahoo, you’ll be happy to know that its unsubscribe system is pretty simple:

1. Click on the email you don’t want to receive

2. Scroll to the bottom of the email and click the three dots to expand a menu of options 

3. Click the “Unsubscribe” button, then confirm your choice in the small pop-up.

Alternatively, you can also use Yahoo’s built-in “Subscriptions” tab.

1. Navigate to Yahoo’s left pane and find the “Subscriptions” tab at the bottom

2. Clicking the “Subscriptions” tab should give you a list of the mailing lists where you’re email is subscribed to

3. Simply tap the “Unsubscribe” button and you should no longer receive emails from the list again.

If you can’t find any option to unsubscribe, Yahoo allows you to flag the message as spam. This way, emails from the same address will automatically be directed to your “Spam” folder instead of your inbox.

Another Option: Unsubscribe Services

Another easy way to unsubscribe from unwanted emails is to use an email unsubscribe service or app. With this option, you can see all your subscriptions in one place and unsubscribe to any that you don’t want.

This is a fast and easy way to get rid of those annoying emails, but note that many of these services require a subscription fee. However, there are still plenty of services that are completely free.

Some email unsubscription services include Unroll.Me, Clean Email, Leave Me Alone, and Mailstrom.

Key Takeaways

And there you have it: your quick guide to unsubscribing to emails on whatever email service you use! 

Once you’re done, enjoy a pristine and clutter-free inbox that leaves you plenty of space for the emails that actually matter. Happy emailing!
