Utilization of 'unsubscribe' links merely tells the sender they reached a real human, and can result in more spam. A friend set up a filter to automatically move all incoming mail containing the word 'unsubscribe' to the spam folder, where it is left un-opened, and auto-deleted after exactly 30 days. She said it works well. Remember most, if not all mail 'phones home' upon opening and/or clicking links within. Both her & I use a dedicated spam account for dealing with any person/outfit that might become a spam issue.
Nah that’s not true. I don’t get spam in my inbox when I unsubscribe. Google will send the emails you're talking about to the spam folder anyway. Also, I get plenty of emails that I want with the word “unsubscribe” so filtering them all would get rid of a lot of mail I want. In a minimal setup, as was the point of the video, no filters are needed.
7:45 idk if it's a feature implemented after you created this but when I hover over emails in my "social" category inbox, a "unsubscribe" option shows up to the right, next to the garbage can (delete) icon. I double checked before writing this, it appears to only be emails in the social category. Just unsubbed from those annoying linkdin and facebook emails with a couple clicks.
Thanks a lot Anson this is very helpful. I agree with that about not creating lot of labels
I watched all your videos UA-cam, all of them are useful
That's awesome, thanks for spending some time here! I'm glad you're finding them useful!
@@AnsonAlexanderis there an option for unread messages to be oldest to newest instead of newest to oldest?
thank you so much for this, your videos are very helpful
You're welcome! Glad you're finding them helpful!
Great video.
I would be interested to hear suggestions for names for labels/folders so as to help organize ones personal gmail.

All of my labels start with "Inbox/" what am I doing wrong?
