Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by the countless number of promotional and spam emails that fill your Gmail inbox daily? You would love to unsubscribe from all of them, but doing it one at a time seems like a never-ending task. Well, you’re in luck because Gmail offers a solution to tackle this issue effectively. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of bulk unsubscribing from emails in Gmail.
Step 1: Use the search function to find unwanted emails
The first step in this process is to use Gmail’s search function to find the emails from which you want to unsubscribe. As an example, let’s say you want to unsubscribe from all newsletters sent by “example.com”. You would enter “from:example.com” in the search bar and hit enter. This will display all emails from this particular sender.
Step 2: Select all emails
Once you have all the emails from the sender displayed, click on the square checkbox on the top left just below the search bar. This will select all emails on the page. However, if you want to select all the emails from the sender, and not just those displayed on the first page, click on “Select all conversations that match this search”.
Step 3: Bulk Unsubscribe
Now that all the emails are selected, look at the top menu, and you’ll see a button with three vertical dots, which is the “More” button. Click on it and from the dropdown menu select “Filter messages like these”. A dialog box will appear with the sender’s address filled in, click on the “Create filter” button at the bottom right of the dialog. In the next screen, check the box that says “Delete it”, and finally hit the “Create filter” button. This will ensure all incoming emails from this sender will be deleted automatically.
Remember!
Remember that this process doesn’t unsubscribe you from the emails but deletes them as soon as they arrive. To fully unsubscribe from the emails, you’ll need to open an email from the sender and click the unsubscribe link usually found at the bottom of the email.
Conclusion
Handling unwanted emails can be tedious and time-consuming. However, Gmail’s bulk unsubscribe feature considerably simplifies the process. Now you can enjoy a cleaner inbox with significantly fewer distractions. Happy emailing!
