Let's talk about a topic like mailings. In general, deciding how to unsubscribe from Mail mailings is not difficult. Sometimes situations arise when a person subscribes to all sorts of news and in the end the mailbox is simply bursting with a large number of different letters, so you have to fix this problem.

How to get rid of mailings?

So, what needs to be done to make unnecessary mailings finally disappear? First of all, you should determine which of the letters you want to save, and which your mail.ru mail can do without.

After this, you can start cleaning and freeing your mail from all junk. Of course, if you don’t want to suffer for a long time, then you can simply make a separate folder in your mail with the name “Dispatches” or any other name. But not everyone does this, although, to be honest, it’s in vain. Once you have already decided what you need to keep and what not, you can move on to deciding how to unsubscribe from Mail mailings.

"Smartresponder" newsletters

So, it’s worth starting with a service called “Smartresponder” and others similar to it, since unsubscribing here is easy. To unsubscribe from unnecessary news, you should select a letter, click on it and find the link at the very bottom of the letter. It appears in almost every letter. Next, click on this link, and Mail.ru mail will take us to the required window.

After this, in the window that opens, you should select the item “Unsubscribe from the mailing list” or “Delete your mail from the author’s database” - and that’s it, such letters will no longer come to you. As you can see, everything is ridiculously simple.

How to unsubscribe from Subscribe?

There is another interesting service on the Internet called Subscribe. Let's talk about how to unsubscribe from Mail mailings from this service.

To get rid of annoying mailings, you need to go to the service, enter your login information, that is, log in. After that, go to the “My mailings” section and click “Unsubscribe” next to those mailings that you no longer want to receive.

Everything here is also very easy, you just need to click once - and that’s it, you will also no longer receive emails. In general, in almost any case you can unsubscribe from mailings. Even if such a situation arises and you don’t know how to unsubscribe from mailing lists, if there is no “Unsubscribe” button, then there is still a way out. Here an antispam filter will come to the rescue, which will dump such letters into a separate folder, or they will not arrive at all.

How to unsubscribe from RSS feeds?

Now it’s worth talking about how to unsubscribe from Mail mailings from the RSS service. Many people subscribe to articles that authors post on their blogs. Such subscriptions are made through an RSS feed. It happens that the author ceases to be interesting, and therefore you no longer need to send out his articles. To get rid of them, you need to open the announcement letter and find the link in English - unsubscribe now. After this, you will be taken to the unsubscribe page. And again, everything can be solved very simply and in a couple of clicks. To help you - mail mail ru.

Unsubscribe by author

In this case, you can inform the author of the blog about your intention by contacting him by letter. Do not forget that communication must be correct and polite.

After writing a letter, you will stop getting on each other's nerves. Each of us understands that such a situation can happen to everyone. Although very often people communicate in a rude manner, there is no escape from this, you just don’t need to get into a fight.

As we can see, this is not such a scary process. If you know how everything is done in practice, you can easily leave only the necessary information in your mail.

Instead of a conclusion

Always carefully choose which authors are worth following and which ones you shouldn't. Newsletters should only be useful, and not ones that offer to earn millions online in almost one day. I would like to say that in those offers that cost money, there is really good advice. In addition, you can quickly learn how to make money on the Internet, but again, you need to know what will be useful and what will not.

If all the above methods are not useful, then you can simply make a filter of unnecessary mail, and then the letters will stop coming.

Every Internet user has at least once received an email from an unknown recipient.

Political advertising, a call to go to a website, or an offer for a promotional product have repeatedly cluttered the mailbox, preventing access to important messages. This phenomenon is called unsolicited sending of information or in other words - spam.

Interesting! The word “spam” appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. Then this was the name given to expired canned food that consumers did not buy. One day, the manufacturing company sent a batch of such canned food to the American Navy, emphasizing the need and benefits of these goods. Then spam began to be associated with unwanted mailing that did not bring any benefit.

Today, the definition is most often used in the Internet environment, denoting with this word all types of advertising sent to users without their consent or request.

What is email spam

It's hard to imagine, but 80% of all email content is unsolicited email. Offers of joint cooperation, congratulations on a non-existent win, and even threats are sent to the mail. There are also some very funny messages from foreign spammers who use Google Translate to compose text.

In general, three main groups of such messages can be distinguished:

• Legitimate advertising (used by small companies that want to attract potential customers. Most often, such correspondence does not pose a threat to the operation of the device, and sometimes it provides the recipient with interesting information: announcement of sales, information about the opening of a new department, etc.).
• Illegal advertising (promotion of goods prohibited for sale or illegal services).
• Game advertising (attractive messages with offers to take part in various games: chain letters, flash mobs).

• a catchy headline (“Win a million dollars!”, “Receive an inheritance from a deceased relative,” “Participate in a prize draw,” “URGENT! Invest money at a favorable interest rate” and the like);
• unknown addressee (often the sender is foreigners);
• lack of useful information or presence of links to dubious sites.

What makes spam email so attractive?

This question interests many who have encountered such mailings. After all, sometimes the meaning of a message is so veiled that users do not understand why spammers waste their time on such operations. There are still reasons:

• Cheap advertising (70% of all unwanted messages on the RuNet are custom-made, which indicates a high concentration of advertising messages. Small shops, illegal institutions and any other enterprises that want to save on advertising use mailing as a method of promoting their goods and services).
• Theft (links to malware that infest received messages, aimed at infecting the operating system, which is usually accompanied by the theft of personal information, including information about bank accounts and deposits).

How to get rid of spam in mail

Of course, everyone who has encountered “garbage” in their mailbox tries to get rid of annoying letters and restore the correct operation of the device. But this process is not always achieved by pressing one key; sometimes you need to try very hard to protect yourself from “malicious” mail.

No matter how obvious it may sound, the simplest and most reliable email protection against spam is the security measures that every Internet user must take. What not to do while surfing the Internet:

1. Leave your email address on open access sites. Forums, comments and advertisements are the main sources from which spammers find new “victims”.
2. Use one drawer for all occasions. It is best to create several email addresses, for example: for work, personal correspondence and entertainment. Then you can use one email for business correspondence, another for communicating with friends, and a third for registering on various resources.
3. Don't read the license agreement. When registering on online platforms, you need to study the information in full. More and more stores and blogs offer to subscribe to the newsletter, automatically checking a box indicating the user’s consent. After studying all the details of registration in detail, you can unsubscribe from the mailing list.
4. Conduct correspondence with the addressee. Some recipients of unsolicited emails try to remove themselves from the mailing list by writing about it in a return email. This is a huge mistake, giving the recipient a green light. A response to a malicious message informs the spammer that the mail is “live”, there is a real person there, and therefore an audience for advertising.

We looked at methods that warn users against malicious mailings, but what should those who made a mistake and disclosed their data to third parties do?

So, a lot of spam is coming to the mail. What to do?

Unsubscribe from mailing list

Some messages have a special button that allows you to refuse unwanted mailings. But here you need to be very careful. The fact is that many scammers use this button to signal that the mail is active, and vice versa, they add the address to the priority list for mailing. That is why it is recommended to use this option only when letters come from a known address (for example, from a popular store or company).

Spam filters for mail servers

The most common and reliable email protection against spam. Filtering occurs automatically and allows you to filter out unnecessary messages from truly important messages. There are two ways email spam filters work:

• The first option involves a comprehensive assessment of the address from which the letter was sent. Thus, messages coming from a server with a low rating are automatically marked as unwanted and are not opened. In this case, the filter must be installed on the mail server;
• The second option involves evaluating the message itself according to the special criteria discussed above, which distinguishes “virtual garbage” from simple letters. If the system determines the malicious nature of the message, the mail ends up in spam. In this case, the filter can be installed both on the server and on the user’s personal computer.

Block spam using mail settings

Each email service has a system for filtering unnecessary messages. We will show the process based on one of the most popular resources. So, how to block spam in Mail?

The first step is to accurately determine the nature of the message, since this method is only suitable for those messages that are undoubtedly spam.

Then you need to follow a few simple steps:

Important! The procedure should be repeated several times. This is necessary so that the mail service remembers the addressee and automatically identifies such messages as spam. Mail anti-spam protection in this case automatically transfers messages to the junk mail folder.

Am I a spammer?

But what if messages do not come to the user, but on the contrary, they are sent from his mail. This situation has become increasingly common lately. Trying to protect themselves, scammers hack mailboxes and send mailing messages from someone else.

So, spam is being sent from my email. What to do?

change Password

The most reliable way to protect your mailbox is to change your password. You can use the mail service's prompts or use complex, combined alphanumeric passwords for your account.

Attention! It is unacceptable to use data accessible to attackers as a password: first name, last name and date of birth. Banal passwords are also easy to crack:

11111, 12345 or qwerty1234.

Checking mail for spam list

An important step that is necessary for your email to work correctly. There are many programs on the Internet (for example, https://whoer.net/ru) that allow you to quickly check the presence of an IP in the blacklist.

Why is it important? It's simple: if an account is marked as malicious, the correspondence sent will not reach the recipient.

The presented email protection methods are simple and accessible to every user. Remember that eliminating spam begins with applying security measures and non-disclosure of personal data in open sources.

Reasons why emails end up in the Spam folder

An email may end up in the Spam folder for two reasons:

• Previously, you yourself marked a letter from this sender as spam by clicking on the “Spam” button;
• Mail.Ru Mail's anti-spam system considered the letter to be spam due to suspicious text or typical message content.

To find out why a letter ended up in the Spam folder, open the letter - above the sent message you will see one of the following notifications:

“The letter ended up in the Spam folder because you previously indicated that the messages were from the sender [email protected] are spam"

Previously, you considered an email from this sender to be spam, so subsequent emails from this sender will end up in the Spam folder.

If you want to prevent these emails from ending up in your Spam folder, click the Not Spam button.

The email ended up in the Spam folder because it is similar to messages that were previously filtered as spam by our system

Our system considered this letter to be spam for one of the following reasons:

• spam-related content: adult content and get-rich-quick schemes;
• a letter disguised as an automatic response from the server: it looks like system notifications (for example, that a message was not delivered due to an invalid email address);
• the letter was sent from an account or IP address that has previously been found to be sending spam;
• similarity to spam or phishing emails in content, spelling, formatting or suspicious attachments;
• The letter refers to a mailing that violates the Mail.ru mailing rules.

If you do not know the sender of the email, never click on links, download attachments, or respond to such emails. Please also note that Mail.ru never asks for passwords or other sensitive information from its users.
