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

  1. Look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email.
  2. Click on it and follow the instructions to confirm your unsubscribe request.

Report spam emails

  1. Mark the email as spam in your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook).
  2. This will help your email provider's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam in the future.

Block senders

  1. Check your email client's settings to see if you can block specific senders.
  2. 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

  1. Create filters in your email client to automatically sort or delete emails from specific senders or with specific keywords.
  2. Use labels to categorize and prioritize your emails.

Use a spam filter

  1. Many email providers offer built-in spam filters that can help block unwanted emails.
  2. You can also use third-party spam filtering services, such as SpamAssassin or SpamSieve.

Avoid giving out your email address

  1. Be cautious when sharing your email address online, especially on public websites or social media platforms.
  2. 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

  1. If you need to share your email address with someone, consider using a contact form instead.
  2. 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

  1. Some email clients, such as ProtonMail or Tutanota, have strong spam filtering capabilities built-in.
  2. 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.
