That ( ^ ), really - looking to set up a rule to mark any received email that contains the word "unsubscribe" with a tag that I can later sort for and just batch delete.
What have I missed? (I don't think order confirmation etc ever say that at the bottom, do they?)
For extra jeopardy, this is going onto MrsPants' email account 😬Â
Thankingyouuuu
It depends. Looking at mine, some of them yes, don't want to automatically delete, but plenty there I would.
Have you tried searching all your messages for unsubscribe in message body and looking at what turns up?
An option might be to create a folder and move any messages with 'unsubscribe' in the body to it. A second filter to delete them after n days so there's a chance to review before deletion.
I wouldn't - having worked at the other end of bulk emails some email providers are very reluctant to allow you to send without an unsubscribe link, even if they aren't required under PECR/GDPR.
Well, applied a filter:
Includes:Â "unsubscribe" OR "manage what you receive from us" OR "opt-out"
Doesn't have:Â "Order #" OR "Order Number #" OR "Order Confirmation" OR "Your Order"
Checked the first thousand results* and there's nothing in there that I'd want to keep in the longer term (initially didn't use the "doesn't have" bit and that found a very few (eBay and Merlin, notably)) so I'm going to go for it on mine and hers
*1,000 results covers only the past three weeks or so ! 🤯Â
