Gmail's 'Unsubscribe' Tool Comes Out of the Weeds

Posted by timothy on from the and-don't-come-back dept.

itwbennett writes "Starting this week, a new, clearly marked 'unsubscribe' link will appear at the top of the header field in marketers' emails. Previously only appearing for a small percentage of users, the feature will now be made available for most promotional messages with unsubscribe options, Google said on Thursday. Email recipients do not need to take action for the links to appear."

    If a sender continues to send you email after you tried to unsubscribe from their messages, new messages from this sender will go directly to Spam.

    Google has their shit together when it comes to filtering spam
