Tired of spam emails on Gmail? Here is how to avoid them

Are you tired of seeing hundreds and thousands of spam emails on Gmail received from random IDs? If yes, then Gad Insider has some simple tricks using which you can easily avoid newsletters and promotional emails from brands you never subscribed to.

How to avoid spam emails

1. Unsubscribe and mass report spam emails

• Log on to Gmail and select all the spam emails you want to unsubscribe from (make you don't select any important email ID).
• Click on the I icon at the top to show you the options to ‘Report spam' or ‘Report spam and unsubscribe'.
• Go through the list of IDs listed and if there is nothing important shown here, choose the Report spam and unsubscribe option.
• You will now stop receiving emails from these accounts.

2. Create filters to detect spam emails

• Open Gmail, click on the search box at the top and type unsubscribe to list all promotional emails.
• Select all of these spam emails, but make sure you cross-check once in case there is a newsletter or mail you actually use in there.
• Click on the three dots at the top and choose Filter messages like these.
• Now click on the create filter option and choose what you want to do with these emails. If you want these emails to be automatically deleted, you can click on the Create a filter option and choose the Delete it option.
• You will get a pop-up at the bottom notifying you that a filter has been created. Apart from deleting, you can also choose to filter such emails by applying labels, or marking them as read.
