Sender blocking and unsubscribe

This feature lets you deal with unwanted email without leaving your inbox. You can block a sender so their messages stop arriving, or unsubscribe from a mailing list with a single click, instead of hunting for a tiny link at the bottom of the message. SaneBox is an example of a tool that offers both, which helps when your mail is full of promotions and notices.

Unwanted mail is a steady drain on attention, and each manual unsubscribe takes a minute or two. A one-click option makes it realistic to clean up a crowded inbox. It matters if you subscribed to many newsletters over the years or receive cold outreach regularly. Keep in mind that unsubscribing only works on senders who honour the request, and blocking is the better choice for persistent or unwanted senders.

• Ask whether unsubscribe sends a proper request to the sender or only hides the messages.
• Test how you undo a block if you blocked someone by mistake.
• Check whether blocked mail is deleted or kept in a folder you can review.
• Ask whether the feature works across all your connected accounts.
