In gmail i have 200+ filters that archive content based on senders. Twitter, facebook and linkeding are all going directly to archived. I use the email+junk@gmail.com trick when on dodgy websites. Sometimes they refuse this kind of email though.
I rarely bother to unsub with the link, making a filter is faster.
As a web app dev, I did implement a one click usub, but some noob users clicked it by mistake. Because emailing is essential in my app (it's the entry point to the shop), I did a slightly more complicated unsub workflow to avoid mistakes.
- niksmac 9y ago+1 for the email+junk@gmail.com trick, one of my personal favourite and it works most of the time. :D
- sharmi 9y agoI am very curious to know what is the "email+junk" trick? I tried googling but it yielded no helpful result.
- rosswilson 9y agoA lot of email providers support aliases using the + symbol. If your email address was foo@example.com, then foo+bar@example.com would also work and be delivered to your inbox. This is a good way of finding out what company sold your email address too.
