Gmail just fixed one of the worst things about email. Here's how.
Sick and tired of all of the subscription emails spamming your inbox? Don't despair, help has arrived.
Gmail is rolling out a new feature that corrals the seemingly unstoppable daily incursion of unread newsletters and unwanted marketing promotions in a separate tab.
The "Manage subscriptions" tab shows a list of subscription emails sorted by those sent most frequently. Click on any of the senders to see all of the emails they have sent. Click unsubscribe and Gmail will send an unsubscribe request on your behalf.
"It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails clogging your inbox: Daily deal alerts that are basically spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, promotional emails from retailers you haven't shopped in years can quickly pile up," Chris Doan, director of Gmail, wrote in a blog post. "With Gmail's new 'Manage subscriptions' feature, you can view and manage your subscription emails, making it easy to unsubscribe from the ones you no longer want all from a single place."
Putting subscriptions all in one place is a Marie Kondo-worthy time saver. No more hours-long decluttering sessions hunting for errant emails and unsubscribing one at a time.
The Gmail feature is gradually rolling out, so you may not see it yet.
To find it, click the navigation bar in the top left corner of your Gmail inbox then click 'More.' Select Manage subscriptions from the menu that pops up. Then you can review senders, see how frequently they email you and unsubscribe to any lists you no longer want to be on.
Mobile users will have to hang on a little longer. The Android and iOS app versions are coming later this month.
