You\u2019ll be presented with a collection of all the email lists you\u2019re subscribed to, with the easy option to <strong>Unsubscribe <\/strong>on the right. Click <strong>Confirm<\/strong>, and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n<h3>Outlook<\/h3>\n<p>In Outlook, click into your <strong>Settings<\/strong> and select <strong>Mail<\/strong>. You should then choose <strong>Subscriptions<\/strong>. There, you\u2019ll see all the email lists you are currently a part of, with the option to <strong>Unsubscribe<\/strong>. Click that, then <strong>confirm<\/strong> your choice.<\/p>\n<h2>Be Careful With Things You Never Subscribed To!<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re reviewing your email, and you see an email that you <em>know<\/em> you didn\u2019t subscribe to. There\u2019s a chance that clicking unsubscribe could be risky. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p>By engaging with the email\u2014yes, even to unsubscribe\u2014you are confirming to the sender that your email address is actively used and that you may respond. That\u2019s all the confirmation they need to add your email to a big list of working emails that they can then sell\u2026 ultimately exacerbating your problem. Instead, simply <strong>mark it as spam<\/strong> and <strong>delete it<\/strong>, ideally without even opening it.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, this helps you keep your inbox that much cleaner and that much more secure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The average email inbox can easily become packed with so many unwanted messages\u2026 not necessarily spam, per se, but threads and feeds you\u2019re just no longer interested in.
