How to Mass Unsubscribe from Emails: Step by Step Guide

We created this step by step guide to help you do exactly that. The guide will follow two main objectives:

Stop new unwanted emails from reaching your Inbox Eliminate old emails to free up storage space for your Inbox

Be very careful with Bulk Actions. Take your time to make sure the selection you made does not include important emails or information. Once they are gone you may not have any way to replace them.

So without further ado:

Method 1: Mass unsubscribe from promotional or marketing-based senders

🟡 Difficulty: Medium

🟡 Efficiency: Medium

🔴 Automatically Bulk Delete Old Selected Emails: No

Emails that are purely promotional or marketing-based such as newsletters, sale notifications, or subscription updates, often clutter your inbox without offering much utility. Especially if these reflect past preferences for services or products that you no longer use.

You probably know who they are, so you can start with these first. Once you identify them you need to individually unsubscribe from them and, if you want, to also delete the emails you already received from them.

Depending on the service provider you may need to take different steps. Below you can find some guides for the most popular services that are priobably sending you a lot of emails:

• Unsubscribe from Quora Emails
• Unsubscribe from Amazon Emails
• Unsubscribe from UBER Emails
• Unsubscribe from LinkedIn Emails
• Unsubscribe from Indeed Emails
• Unsubscribe from Facebook Emails

Method 2: Mass unubsubcribe from old emails and old senders

🟡 Difficulty: Medium

🟡 Efficiency: Medium

🔴 Automatically Bulk Delete Old Selected Emails: No

Identify old emails that are no longer relevant such as past event invitations, your 2 year old invoices or meeting requests. If you have not received anything new from them in some time it means you are either no longer subscribed to them, or your native Spam filter is trashing them as they arrive.

This still means that the old emails you received up to some point are still in your Inbox, so you might as well bulk delete them.

On the other hand if you are still receiving emails from them and if you also want to unsubscribe, you would need to individually follow the process for each of the providers.

Pro Tip: You can search by key search words to best identify them like: “Accepted” or “Declined” “Meeting invite” ”Shared a document with you” “Your meeting has been forwarded” “Name of old service or utility providers”

Method 3: Mass unsubscribe from the senders tranmitting the most emails

🟢 Difficulty: Low

🟡 Efficiency: Medium

🔴 Automatically Bulk Delete Old Selected Emails: No

These can include senders that transmitted large amounts of messages, such as notification to bulletin boards or several newsletters sent from a single email address, that were useful at one point but are now redundant.

Using the native Search functionality of your email client : search for an email sender or an unique email title that you know keeps popping up in your Inbox count the number of emails (or pages) to determine how many of them are there so that you can focus only on the ones that are in high numbers

Once you know what you want to targe, follow the unsubscribe instructions contained in the emails to stop receiving further communications from them
