Gmail's Manage subscriptions page lets you mass unsubscribe from many senders in one place.

Gmail now has a Manage subscriptions page that lists every sender with an active mailing list and puts an Unsubscribe button beside each. Google is rolling it out gradually, so the older route from a single email is below too, along with a filter for the promotional mail that is left.

Unsubscribing is one sender at a time. Batmail's rules handle what is left, overnight.

On a computer, Manage subscriptions is in the left menu under More.

On a computer

  1. Open Gmail on your computer.
  2. On the left, click More, then Manage subscriptions.
  3. At the right, next to the number of emails sent recently from the sender, click Unsubscribe.

Google says that when you unsubscribe from a sender here, Gmail unsubscribes you from all of the active mailing lists related to that sender. To look before you decide, click the sender’s name or avatar to see every email from them.

One row for each sender, with Unsubscribe at the right.

In the Gmail app, Manage subscriptions is in the menu at the top left.

Android phone and tablet, iPhone and iPad

Google notes that the ability to manage email subscriptions is gradually rolling out and may not be available to you yet. Until the menu item appears on your account, use the single-email route further down.

Unsubscribing takes a few days to work, so a few more emails can still arrive.

Google says it can take a few days for the sender to unsubscribe you, and that you might keep getting messages from the sender during that time. In the meantime, new emails from a sender you unsubscribed from go to Spam, with a banner on each one that explains why.

If a message from the sender lands in Spam and you want it back, open it and choose Report not spam.

From a single email, Unsubscribe may drop only one of the sender's mailing lists.

From one email, on a computer

  1. Go to Gmail and open an email you want to unsubscribe from.
  2. Next to the sender’s name, click Unsubscribe.
  3. In the pop-up, click Unsubscribe or Go to website.

Google’s tip is that unsubscribing from one email might only unsubscribe you from a single mailing list from that sender, and that Manage subscriptions is where you find all of the sender’s active subscriptions. Some senders do not offer a one-click unsubscribe: Gmail shows Go to website instead, and the sender’s own page has the last step. If that pop-up appears, Block is there too.

A filter on the Promotions tab clears the promotional mail that unsubscribing does not reach.

Gmail search has a category: operator for the inbox tabs, and category:promotions finds everything Gmail has sorted into Promotions, whoever sent it. Google describes the operator for people who use inbox categories. A filter on it can skip the inbox for all of that mail at once, and a label keeps it one click away.

Paste this into the Gmail search box

category:promotions

Open this filter in the Gmail filter generator

Save it the usual way: Show search options, paste the search, click Create filter, tick Skip the Inbox (Archive it) and Apply the label, then click Create filter. Google lists every step in Create rules to filter your emails.

A sender that keeps writing after you unsubscribe can be blocked or reported.

Google says that blocking a sender does not unsubscribe you, and that blocked mail goes straight to Spam. If a sender keeps writing after the few days Google mentions, the guide to blocking emails in Gmail has the steps, and the guide to stopping spam covers reporting mail you never signed up for.

These are the questions people ask next.

Is there a way to unsubscribe from all emails at once in Gmail?

Gmail's Manage subscriptions page puts every sender with an active mailing list in one list, and each sender has its own Unsubscribe button. Unsubscribing from a sender there unsubscribes you from all of that sender's active mailing lists.

Why do I not see Manage subscriptions in Gmail?

Google says the ability to manage email subscriptions is gradually rolling out and may not be available to you yet. Until it appears, open an email from the sender and click Unsubscribe next to the sender's name.

Why do emails keep arriving after I unsubscribe?

Google says it can take a few days for the sender to unsubscribe you, and you might keep getting messages from the sender in the meantime.

What does Go to website mean next to Unsubscribe?

Some senders do not allow a one-click unsubscribe and ask you to finish on their website. Gmail shows Go to website instead of Unsubscribe, and the sender's page has the rest of the steps.

Does unsubscribing from one email remove me from every list the sender runs?

Not always. Google says unsubscribing from a specific email might only unsubscribe you from a single mailing list from that sender. Manage subscriptions finds all of a sender's active subscriptions.

Every step on this page comes from these official pages.

Unsubscribe handles the senders you know about. Batmail handles the rest.

Batmail reads every new email overnight, runs the rules you wrote in plain English and logs the reason for each action, so mail from a sender that keeps writing is handled by a rule, not by you. Scout is free on one inbox, no card required.
