Tired of deleting/unsubscribing emails manually 🧐? If so, I feel the pain 😅
So this is a routine that I was following for a while – Spend my 1 hour daily on cleaning up unwanted emails and unsubscribing and deleting 100’s of untouched/unread/unwanted/spam (whatever you wanna say) emails for a while. To be frank.. it’s hell load of work, and it’s hard to do this process manually. And I bet you won’t like that when you receive new marketing/ spam emails every now and then from unknown sources. 😭
Let’s solve this problem ✌️
So from the last couple of days, I have been researching and re-evaluating many products that can automate this process and make my life easier. So to help you out and not to promote any product in particular.. I am sharing this tricks.
If you prefer manual workflow… I found really interesting and quick techniques to reduce the workload. Some of the links that are worth to check..

Being generous, he open sourced the Google script

So I tried myself :
1. Mark with all the emails that you want to unsubscribe with the label “Unsubscribe”
2. Then run the Google script in the Google doc.
The script runs automatically and logs the emails that were unsubscribed and which couldn’t due to broken links. Works like a charm, it automatically runs in background every 5 mins.
4. CleanFox App 🦊
This app is helpful when you wanna manage all your newsletters and remove the unwanted.
If you want to sort / do bulk operations with your mails, this app does help.
It will first scan all your emails to sort them out.
Some other alternatives, that I have not yet tried, since I am happy with my current setup. Will do share my experience, But this are the recommended ones from some of the power users.
