How to stop receiving mails
The eternal quest to reduce email clutter! Here are some ways to stop receiving unwanted emails:
Unsubscribe from newsletters and promotional emails
- Look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email.
- Click on it and follow the instructions to confirm your unsubscribe request.
Report spam emails
- Mark the email as spam in your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook).
- This will help your email provider's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam in the future.
Block senders
- Check your email client's settings to see if you can block specific senders.
- For example, in Gmail, you can block a sender by clicking on the three vertical dots next to the sender's name and selecting "Block [sender's name]".
Use filters and labels
- Create filters in your email client to automatically sort or delete emails from specific senders or with specific keywords.
- Use labels to categorize and prioritize your emails.
Use a spam filter
- Many email providers offer built-in spam filters that can help block unwanted emails.
- You can also use third-party spam filtering services, such as SpamAssassin or SpamSieve.
Avoid giving out your email address
- Be cautious when sharing your email address online, especially on public websites or social media platforms.
- Consider using a disposable email address or a service like 10 Minute Mail, which allows you to create a temporary email address.
Use a contact form instead of sharing your email address
- If you need to share your email address with someone, consider using a contact form instead.
- This way, you can control who can contact you and reduce the risk of receiving unwanted emails.
Use a email client with strong spam filtering
- Some email clients, such as ProtonMail or Tutanota, have strong spam filtering capabilities built-in.
- These clients can help block unwanted emails and keep your inbox clean.
Remember, it's always a good idea to be cautious when sharing your email address and to regularly review your email settings to ensure you're not receiving unwanted emails.
