Use this method to quickly get rid of the overwhelming Gmail emails.

Every active Internet user receives dozens of letters every day with advertisements, messages about updates of services and applications, notifications about various events. In an avalanche of this correspondence, really important information is often lost, so you need to periodically put things in order in your mail.

There are several special services for quick automatic unsubscription from mailings, for example Unroll. Me. However, journalists from The New York Times have unearthed that this service is involved in the sale of user addresses to third-party companies.

Therefore, we suggest that you use a safe alternative tool that will automatically unsubscribe you from unwanted mailings. It was suggested by developer Amit Agarwal, author of the Digital Inspiration website. The source code of the script used is available in the public domain, so everyone can make sure that it is safe.

1. Copy the Gmail Unsubscriber spreadsheet to your Google Drive by clicking on this link.

   

2. In the table that opens, expand the Gmail Unsubscriber menu and click on the Configure item.

   

3. Give the script access permissions and set the name of the shortcut with which you will mark the interfering mail.

   

4. The script runs in the background without your participation. You just need to assign the label you specified to unnecessary letters in order to stop receiving such messages in the future.

The log of the actions performed is in the table itself. For more information on how this script works, see the author's blog.
