Declutter Your Inbox with Gmail's New "Manage Subscriptions" Feature

Declutter Your Inbox with Gmail's "Manage Subscriptions" Feature

My email inbox can sometimes start looking like a junk drawer - somewhere between "I'll read this later" and "how did I get on this list?". This is why I am excited about Gmail's new "Manage Subscriptions" feature. It streamlines my process for searching, filtering and removing messages from email subscriptions, and an even a faster way to unsubscribe. 

In the left navigation under More, you will see a Manage Subscriptions label where Gmail provides a single page that shows every subscription and how many times each sender has emailed you lately. The best part? You can click on the subscription name to view the entire thread of emails. I use this to "select all" and "delete" to get rid of old messages. Then if I want out completely, I can click "Unsubscribe" next to any sender on the Manage Subscriptions page.
