Our daily use of email can lead to an inbox filled with unwanted clutter if left unchecked. Mixing your private email with everything else can quickly get out of hand, especially if you only have one email address. While Gmail provides an unsubscribe button, it lacks a feature to opt out of multiple senders simultaneously. To address this issue, use Gmail add-ons on your computer or Chromebook to unsubscribe from these messages. This guide walks you through the methods to declutter your Gmail inbox.

How to unsubscribe from emails in bulk with extensions

Email Studio for Gmail has many tools in one. The extension is on the official Google Workspace Marketplace, which makes it trustworthy. Any extension you grant access to your Google account requires some amount of your data.

Email Studio allows you to set an unsubscribe rule that applies to one sender at a time. It may not be what you want, but the add-on performs multiple actions at once. You can unsubscribe from an email and mass delete previous emails or archive them simultaneously. You’ll no longer receive a sender’s messages even if you uninstall the add-on. You can always create more rules for different senders to clean up your emails.

When you install the add-on via a PC, it automatically appears on the mobile app if you signed in with the same account. You can install it from the Workspace Marketplace if you can’t access a PC. Here’s how to use Email Studio on the PC and mobile version of Gmail.

Unsubscribe from emails with Email Studio on the Gmail web app

To use the web version of Email Studio on a desktop computer, visit the Google Workspace Marketplace to install the required add-on. Then, set up a specific rule to unsubscribe from emails in bulk. The process is simple and doesn’t require much effort when you get past the initial setup of the add-on.

To set up Email Studio for the desktop version of Gmail, do this:

1. From your PC browser, visit mail.google.com. Ensure you’re signed in to the correct Google account.
2. Tap + in the right sidebar that holds your add-ons. This action launches the Google Workspace Marketplace.

   

3. Search for Email Studio from Digital Inspiration.

   

4. Click the add-on when you see it. Then select Install.
5. Follow the prompts to install the add-on.
6. Return to Gmail.
7. Click the add-on in the right sidebar to open it.

   

8. Select Email Clean Up. Your browser launches the tool in a new tab.

   

9. Click New rule.

   

10. Fill in the conditions and required actions. Check the Unsubscribe from List box.
11. Click Save.
12. Click Run to apply the conditions.

Unsubscribe from emails with Email Studio on the Gmail mobile app

Like the desktop version of Email Studio, you must visit the official Google Workspace Marketplace website and install an add-on. After it’s installed, open an email from the app and create a rule to bulk unsubscribe from emails. You’ll then have access to the add-on within the mobile Gmail app, allowing you to manage your messages without a desktop computer.

To set up Email Studio for the mobile app version of Gmail, check out these steps:

1. Install Email Studio if you haven’t already done so. Go to workspace.google.com on your mobile browser and search for the add-on.
2. Open the Gmail app and tap any email to view it.
3. Select the Email Studio icon from the available add-ons. You’ll find it as a paper plane at the bottom of the email.
4. Tap Email Clean Up. The tool launches on your default web browser.

   

   

5. Tap New rule and fill in the conditions and required actions. Check the Unsubscribe from List box.
6. Tap Save, then select Run to execute the unsubscribe command.

How to filter and block bulk messages on Gmail

Gmail filters work similarly to the Email Studio add-on. You set the search criteria, and the app automatically finds messages that match them. The difference is that there isn’t an unsubscribe option, and you must mass delete or archive emails. You can select all the search results and delete them instantly.

While this action removes unwanted emails from your view, newsletter providers still retain your information. It only affects how emails appear in your inbox, not your subscription status with the sender. Likewise, reporting and blocking Gmail messages doesn’t erase your information from their database. The messages only move to the Spam folder, which counts towards your account’s storage.

How to manually unsubscribe from Gmail messages

Third-party add-ons and Gmail filters can miss key criteria and retain unwanted messages. Plus, add-ons require email access and typically collect your data, which is a security risk. It’s time-consuming to unsubscribe from emails one by one. However, canceling each subscription is now easier, as Google added the unsubscribe button to the desktop and mobile versions of Gmail.

On the mobile app, it’s at the top of the screen beside the sender’s email address.

Google may be nudging you to be more mindful

While you still need to rely on third-party methods to bulk unsubscribe from more than one sender on Gmail, it’s still effective. It helps you eliminate unwanted daily newsletters or other messages you no longer need, which is an excellent way to reduce spam on Gmail. As we saw with the “Select all” messages option on mobile devices, Google may eventually add a new Gmail bulk unsubscribe feature by default without add-ons. In the meantime, using add-ons is the best option, as it works across all versions of Gmail, including mobile.
