Bulk unsubscribe

How to bulk unsubscribe from emails in Gmail

Gmail now has a screen for leaving newsletters, and there are services that do it for you. Here’s how each one works, what it sees of your mail, and how Dodosend does it, one key per sender.

Gmail’s Manage subscriptions

Gmail’s own way, on the web and in its phone apps. Google began rolling it out on July 8, 2025, in some countries first, so it may not be in your Gmail yet.

Leaving can take a few days, Gmail says, and until then new mail from that sender goes to Spam, with a banner. Blocking a sender is not the same: it doesn’t unsubscribe you.

1In Gmail on a computer, click More in the list on the left, then Manage subscriptions. In the phone app, open the menu, then Manage subscriptions.
2Senders are listed most frequent first, each with how many emails it sent you in the past few weeks.
3Click Unsubscribe next to a sender, and Gmail sends the request for you.
4Some senders only let you finish on their own website.

Services that unsubscribe for you

To clear out your newsletters, an app has to see your mail. How each one connects, what it costs, and, in its own words, what it does with what it sees.

Service	How it connects	Price	What its policy says
Unroll.Me	A Google app password, over IMAP	Free	Owned by NielsenIQ. Its data page says: “We share information about the commercial emails you receive and some demographic details with clients like e-commerce businesses and data brokers for market analysis.”
Clean Email	Google sign-in	Free for up to 1,000 messages; $29.99 a year for one account, $49.99 for five, $99.99 for ten	It accesses only each mail’s envelope and headers, and the body only to show a preview, and it will “never sell or rent” your data.
Dodosend	Google sign-in	Free for one Gmail mailbox	The list is made on your computer. To unsubscribe, Dodosend’s server reads the unsubscribe headers of that sender’s mail, and keeps only the sender’s address, how you left, and the date.

Unroll.Me’s and Clean Email’s details come from their own sites, checked in October 2026. Dodosend’s are in its Privacy Policy.

How Dodosend does it

Subscriptions lists who writes to you and how much of it you read, and stops each sender with one key.

Open Subscriptions

Every sender whose mail offers a way to unsubscribe, from the last 90 days, with how often they write and how much of it you opened.

Unsubscribe and archive

Asks the sender to stop, and archives their conversations still in your Inbox.

Unsubscribe only

Asks the sender to stop, and leaves their mail where it is.

Keep

Moves the sender to Kept, out of the way. Press it again there to bring them back to review.

Senders, by what you read

Senders come in groups: Never opened, Rarely opened (fewer than one email in five) and Often opened. A group of senders you never or rarely open has Unsubscribe from all, which leaves every one of them and archives their mail. Once you’ve left, a sender shows under No mail since you unsubscribed, or under Still sending if their mail comes more than two days later.

How a sender is asked to stop

1A one-click request to the sender, the standard way to leave a list, made only when Gmail has checked that the sender signed its unsubscribe header.
2Otherwise, an unsubscribe email to the address the sender gives, sent from your Gmail.
3Otherwise, the sender’s own page, opened in your browser to finish there.

If one way fails, the next is tried. To do this, Dodosend’s server reads only the headers of up to ten of that sender’s mails.

Questions

Does blocking a sender unsubscribe me?

No. Gmail’s help says it plainly: blocking a sender doesn’t unsubscribe you, so you stay on their list. To get off it, unsubscribe.

Why am I still getting mail after unsubscribing?

Senders can take a few days to stop. Gmail says so of its own unsubscribe, and until then it sends new mail from that sender to Spam. In Dodosend, a sender who still writes more than two days after you left shows under Still sending, so you can see which ones didn’t stop.

Is Unroll.Me safe?

Judge from what it says itself. Unroll.Me is free, connects to Gmail with an app password over IMAP, and is owned by NielsenIQ. Its data page says: “We share information about the commercial emails you receive and some demographic details with clients like e-commerce businesses and data brokers for market analysis.”

Does Dodosend read my mail to find subscriptions?

Not the text of it. The list is made on your computer, from each mail’s sender, its unsubscribe header, its date and whether you opened it. When you unsubscribe, Dodosend’s server reads the headers of up to ten of that sender’s mails, and keeps only the sender’s address, how you left, and the date.

Is it free?

Gmail’s Manage subscriptions is, and so is Dodosend for one Gmail mailbox, Subscriptions included. Unroll.Me is free too; Clean Email is free for up to 1,000 messages, then from $29.99 a year.
