Love this! I have just recently started to unsubscribe to almost everything. Glad to see I am not alone.

I've been doing this too. However somehow I ended up getting emails from Xanga. I've marked them as Junk in my imac email program but they still come through. I've tried unsubing but they make it impossible. How can I block them from ever coming through again? Help!!

UNBUSRIDE! (what my old co-workers used to call it).

I just happened to detach myself from two newsletters this morning. Going to see what else I can free up…

Sorry for the typos- should have proof read it in my phone.

I had a really serious issue with emails bei g filtered in my gmail account- losing all client inquiries and such- I didn’t realize it bu I had created about 15 folders and messages were skipping my inbox and being marked read and everything crazy. I then thought to myself- why did I ever set up such a system? Why not unsubscribe and if I ever needed information. Then just go to their website and look for it. So now I deleted all my filters and any email list mail I get, I actually look at it and if I don’t like it them zap- unsubscribe.
NOTE: don’t unsubscribe to messages in your spam box- to them that only confirms that you exist- and they will send you more mail.

I actually maintain a separate email address for signups and things that are likely to be nonsensical. I rarely check that box – really only then I am sent a password for logging in, and that's about it. That's also the same email address I give to friends who seem to have nothing better to do than forward silly emails.

I've been doing this a lot lately. I just don't have time to deal with the unnecessary! I've gotten so bad that I've been going through my spam list and clicking all their "unsubscribe" links just to try to cut down on seeing the number on my spam folder go up so high every day…

I've been doing that as well! So many companies email EVERY day and it drives me crazy!

A friend and I just signed up for a Photoshop seminar a few weeks ago. I have gotten advertisements from them at least once a week since, and once I even got two ads on one day! And completely untargeted to boot (I'm taking the advanced seminar, and you're trying to sell me on learning Microsoft Office? Really?)

How do they not realize that they're never going to get any more money out of me, ever ever again? The only reason I haven't unsubscribed yet, is that it's the same email they use to send me info about the thing I actually signed up for. As soon as that seminar's over though, it's goodbye spam.
