How to not receive mails

The eternal quest for a quieter inbox! Here are some ways to reduce or stop receiving unwanted emails:

  1. Unsubscribe from newsletters and promotional emails: Look for the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email and click on it. This will remove you from the sender's mailing list.
  2. Use a spam filter: Most email providers, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook, have built-in spam filters that can help block unwanted emails. You can also use third-party spam filters like SpamAssassin or SpamSieve.
  3. Report spam: If an email is marked as spam, report it to your email provider. This helps their algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam in the future.
  4. Block senders: Most email providers allow you to block specific senders or domains. This will prevent emails from those senders from reaching your inbox.
  5. Use a disposable email address: Services like Mailinator or 10 Minute Mail provide temporary email addresses that can be used to sign up for services or newsletters without exposing your primary email address.
  6. Use a email client with built-in filtering: Some email clients, like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, have built-in filtering capabilities that allow you to create rules to automatically move or delete unwanted emails.
  7. Use a third-party email filtering service: Services like Unroll.me or Bulk Unsubscribe can help you unsubscribe from unwanted newsletters and promotional emails.
  8. Use a VPN: Some VPNs, like ExpressVPN or NordVPN, offer email filtering features that can help block unwanted emails.
  9. Use a email client with a "blacklist" feature: Some email clients, like ProtonMail or Tutanota, have a "blacklist" feature that allows you to block specific senders or domains.
  10. Consider using a "burner" email address: A burner email address is a temporary email address that can be used for a specific purpose, like signing up for a service or newsletter, and then discarded.

Remember, it's essential to be cautious when providing your email address to ensure you don't receive unwanted emails in the first place. Always read the terms and conditions before signing up for a service or newsletter.
