Unsubscribe, or mark as spam
Stop unwanted mail, whichever kind it is.
Unsubscribe is for mail you agreed to: a store, a charity, a newsletter. It tells them to stop.
Mark as spam is for senders you never gave your address to. The sender is told nothing.
Key points
- Unsubscribe is for mail you once agreed to
- Mark as spam is for senders you never gave your address to
What to remember
- Never signed up? Report rather than reply.
- Unsubscribe from lists you joined. Report the rest.
Try this
Open a newsletter you no longer read and scroll to the bottom. Unsubscribe is there.
