Unsubscribe for a Tidy Inbox
Although emails like newsletters, marketing messages, and promotions can be helpful at times, they can also clutter your inbox making it harder to spot important emails. By unsubscribing from these types of messages, you can declutter your mailbox and stop spam emails.
When you use your email service provider’s unsubscribe feature, the application sends a request to the sender to remove your email address from their mailing list. The process normally takes a few days but can be well worth the wait to keep your inbox clean moving forward.
If you use the Apple Mail app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, you can take advantage of the built-in unsubscribe tool. While the feature works as expected, it doesn’t offer much flexibility. For instance, you can’t see a list of unsubscribed messages, resubscribe if you change your mind, or unsubscribe in bulk. For these advanced features, check out this video about the Unsubscriber tool in the Clean Email app.
Keep reading to learn how to unsubscribe from an email on iPhone, iPad, and Mac using the Mail app along with how to use Unsubscriber in Clean Email for more effective subscription and inbox management.

- You can see all emails on the Unsubscribed tab for easy resubscribing or for retrieving messages you unsubscribed from by mistake.
- Your unsubscribed emails, and future ones you receive before the request is accepted, are sent directly to the Trash folder which keeps them out of your inbox.
How to Resubscribe to Emails on iPhone
What happens if you accidentally unsubscribe from emails or simply decide to resubscribe later? Unfortunately, you won’t see a way to resubscribe in the Mail app on iPhone.
One option is to revisit the website and subscribe again. However, this doesn’t always work as it may show that you’ve already subscribed.
Another option is to use Clean Email to manage your subscriptions instead because you can resubscribe directly through the app. Here’s how:
- Select Unsubscriber in the menu and head to the Unsubscribed tab at the top. You’ll see all emails you’ve unsubscribed from using the app.
- Choose Unblock below an email to start receiving the messages again.
How to Unsubscribe from Emails on Mac
Like on iPhone and iPad, you can manage messages from mailing lists in your connected email accounts using the Apple Mail Unsubscribe feature and Clean Email’s Unsubscriber on Mac.
How to Unsubscribe on Mac with Apple Mail
If you’ve never tried the Apple Mail Unsubscribe tool on macOS, just follow these few steps.
- With the Mail app open, head to a specific mailbox or choose All Inboxes in the left-hand menu and select a message.
- Click Unsubscribe at the top of the email.
- Choose OK to unsubscribe from future mailings.
Again, you should allow a few days for the request to process and remove your email address from the sender’s mailing list.
How to Unsubscribe on Mac with Clean Email
Whether you use the official Clean Email app for Mac or the web version in your browser, you can unsubscribe from emails the same simple way:
