The next time you want to stop receiving emails from a legitimate organization, don’t just click the “Spam” or “Trash” button. Unsubscribe from those emails to keep your inbox clean. It’s not that easy, sometimes these links gets buried under a swath of ads or fine print. At that point, many consider unsubscribing a pain, rather they opt easy method, they just delete those new emails.
1. Right Way: Reply with “Unsubscribe” or “Remove Me” in the subject line
Some companies do not use sophisticated email service providers, and have a more manual email marketing workflow. Because of this, their instructions in the footer might tell you to reply to their email and replace the subject line with “Unsubscribe”, “Remove Me” or some similar variation.
Since this usually relies on a human to manually remove you from their email list, you might need to do this a couple times, but it usually does work the first time.

4. Right Way: Set up a filter to delete incoming emails
Some senders have a more annoying unsubscribe process, where you need to login to their system — which means remembering your password — in order to update your email preferences. If there is ever an annoying unsubscribe process, simply set up a filter to delete any future emails send from that email address.
For example, here’s how to set up a filter in Gmail in 30 seconds or less. First, check the email you want to unsubscribe to, and then click More > Filter messages like these.
Next, click Create filter with this search.
Then check the boxes Delete it and Also apply filter to # matching conversation(s). ClickCreate Filter.
That’s it! It takes under a minute to set up a filter like this, and you’ll never see messages from that sender in your inbox again.
5. Do not share your Email Address or Password
Sometimes unknowingly you tend to share your email address and password of your email address. Those who have access to your email addresses and passwords might subscribe to unwanted emails. So next time do not share your email address or password to anyone whom you do not trust.
This one happened to me last week. Someone sent me a mean — bordering on cruel — email insulting my character. It was intended to hurt my feelings. In his email, he indicated that I was spamming his “company” with emails they didn’t sign up for. So of course, I checked my contact database. Sure enough, someone from his “company” did sign up for my emails. I had their email address, date, time, and exact form they filled out. It wasn’t my fault there was a lack of communication on their end, or that someone used the company email to download something from U Stand Out. Because of this, it didn’t hurt my feelings. There was no way for me to know a difference for this particular email address. What bothered me more is that people think that it’s ok to be malicious to one another for something so minor as an unwanted email. Or that they would take the time out of their day to do so. Unsubscribe or set up a filter. It’s really that simple.
6. Wrong Way: Reply to the sender with a scathing message
The wrong way to unsubscribe to emails is to reply to the sender with an angry email. Keep in mind, we’re talking about emails that made it into your inbox. These aren’t the viagra, enlargement, Nigerian prince scams, or whatever other emails make it into your spam filter. So these are more likely marketing emails from legitimate companies, bloggers, etc. So there are several reasons why sending a harsh reply is a bad idea.
Next time, when you subscribe for any email, think twice, whether it is beneficial to have those newsletter if not, do not subscribe them and save yourself from getting trapped by unwanted emails.
