Unsubscribe From Emails on Yahoo Web
Like other popular email service providers, Yahoo Mail offers an Unsubscribe feature. With it, you can remove yourself from mailing lists and declutter your Yahoo inbox.
To use the Yahoo unsubscribe tool for individual emails, visit Yahoo Mail on the web, sign in, and do one of the following:
- Right-click the email in your message list and choose Unsubscribe.
- Select the email in your message list, click More (three dots) at the top, and pick Unsubscribe.
- Open the email and choose Unsubscribe at the top.
Confirm in the pop-up window.
Using the above automatically submits a removal request to the sender. Keep in mind that that process can take a few days and there’s no guarantee that the sender will remove you from their mailing list.
📌 Tip: Learn more about how and if unsubscribing from emails really works.
Another way to unsubscribe on Yahoo is to use the Subscriptions folder in your account. What’s interesting about this folder is that you may or may not see all of your subscriptions. So, while it’s an option, it may not be the most reliable one.
- Display the left-hand menu and select Show next to Views if the folders are hidden.
- Choose Subscriptions.
- Pick Unsubscribe for the email.
- Confirm in the pop-up window.
You’ll then see those subscriptions move to the Unsubscribed tab at the top of the Subscriptions folder.
💡 Note: If you unsubscribe from an email in your inbox using the first set of steps above, you will not see it in the Unsubscribed section of the Subscriptions. That area is apparently reserved for unsubscribed subscriptions already in that folder.

Get started for FreeMass Unsubscribe From Emails on Yahoo
Now that we’ve explained how to manage individual messages, you’re naturally wondering how to mass unsubscribe on Yahoo, right? Unfortunately, you can’t currently unsubscribe from emails on Yahoo in bulk. That’s right, you must take care of them one at a time.
Instead, you can use the Clean Email app and its Unsubscriber feature. With it, you can remove yourself from several mailing lists in bulk, saving you a ton of time.
Visit Clean Email on the web, sign in, and follow these steps:
- Open Unsubscriber in the left-hand menu.
- Choose Select at the top.
- Mark each subscription or pick Select All at the top.
- Select Unsubscribe in the action bar at the bottom.
You’ll then see those subscriptions move to the Unsubscribed tab at the top of Unsubscriber.
As you can see, where Yahoo Mail lacks, Clean Email exceeds! But that’s not all that’s unique about Unsubscriber. Read on to see additional ways that this productivity feature can help you best manage your subscriptions.
Manage Subscriptions Efficiently With Clean Email
Do you have subscriptions that you don’t necessarily want to stop receiving, but simply move out of the way? Or, maybe you just wish you could temporarily pause emails or handle social media and promotional subscriptions?
The Unsubscriber feature in Clean Email gives you these terrific options:
- Redirect subscriptions away from your inbox. Select Read Later next to a subscription message to keep receiving the emails but redirect them to the Read Later folder.
- Out with the old, in with the new! If you receive several subscription messages from the same sender frequently, do you really need all of their previous emails? Choose Keep Newest next to a subscription message to retain the most recent email and delete the rest.
- Temporarily stop subscriptions. Select Pause next to a subscription to temporarily stop it and send the messages to the trash. Once you catch up or clean up, simply unblock the emails using the Paused section of Unsubscriber.
📌 Tip: You can also use Clean Email’s Smart Folders to unsubscribe from emails like social media notifications, seasonal sales, or miscellaneous promotions with a click.
Unsubscribe From Emails in the Yahoo Mobile App
If you like to manage emails on the go, you can use the unsubscribe tool in the Yahoo Mail mobile app. The options are similar to those in Yahoo on the web.
Open the Yahoo Mail app and do one of the following:
- Long-press the email in your message list and choose Unsubscribe.
- Open the email and tap the Unsubscribe button at the bottom.
Unlike Yahoo Mail on the web, you won’t be asked to confirm when you unsubscribe using your inbox in the mobile app.
Additionally, you can use the Yahoo Mail Subscriptions list to view and manage certain subscriptions:
- Select Subscriptions at the bottom.
- Tap Unsubscribe for a message.
- Confirm at the bottom.
You’ll then see those subscriptions move to the Unsubscribed tab. Again, those you unsubscribe from in your inbox do not display in this area.
Note that you can’t unsubscribe from all emails on Yahoo Mail or even more than one at a time using the mobile app either. Instead, use Clean Email on mobile!
Unsubscribe in the Clean Email Mobile App
Similar to the limitations you have with managing subscriptions in Yahoo Mail on the web, are the same restrictions with this task in the mobile app.
To remedy this, you can use all of the same Unsubscriber features in the Clean Email mobile app that you can on the web.
Open Clean Email on Android or iPhone, select Unsubscriber in the menu, and do any of the following:
- Unsubscribe from emails in bulk using the Select (or Select All) and Unsubscribe buttons.
- Redirect subscriptions to Read Later or choose to Keep Newest using the arrow to the right.
- Temporarily Pause subscriptions and then Unblock them later in the Unsubscriber section.
Unsubscribing From Spam Emails on Yahoo
You may see an email in Yahoo Mail that appears to be a subscription, but Yahoo doesn’t give you an unsubscribe option. Additionally, Yahoo’s spam filter didn’t catch that email and send it to the Spam folder.
In this case, you might be tempted to look for and use an Unsubscribe link in the actual email itself. However, this can often have adverse effects. For instance, if the message is potentially malicious, clicking that link can alert the sender that you have an active email account which can result in even more junk emails from the sender.
Instead, mark messages like this as Spam in Yahoo Mail one of these ways:
- On the web, select one or more emails in your inbox and click the Spam button at the top. You can also use the Spam button at the top of a particular message when you open it.
- On mobile, long-press an email in your list and choose Mark as spam or open the email, pick More at the bottom, and select Mark as spam.
In some instances, you may mark an email as spam and see a message from Yahoo that you can unsubscribe instead. This can happen if the email is from a sender that Yahoo trusts:
If you don’t recognize the sender, know you haven’t subscribed, and no longer want these unsolicited messages, you can pick Report as spam so that the emails are immediately moved to the Spam folder.
As Yahoo states, marking messages as spam helps the system recognize junk emails which should help eliminate future messages.
Stop Spam Safely With Clean Email
Alternatively, or additionally, you can use Clean Email to manage these types of Yahoo messages and handle spam.
- Using Unsubscriber, you don’t have to worry about an unsubscribe link or button for emails. Simply visit the Unsubscriber section and manage those messages quickly and in bulk.
- Using Screener, you can view all messages from unknown senders in one spot. From there, you can unsubscribe or even block senders before their emails hit your inbox. Plus, you can handle groups of messages, not just individual ones.
- Using Cleaning Suggestions, you can manage tons of emails at once. This includes marking messages as spam and moving emails to the trash.
Resubscribing or Undoing an Unsubscribe on Yahoo
As you’ve read above, Yahoo Mail handles subscriptions in different ways. You can have some subscriptions in your inbox and others in the Subscriptions section. You can review certain subscriptions after you unsubscribe but not others. So, it’s no surprise that there’s no consistency for resubscribing or reversing the unsubscribe action.
Luckily, you do have a few options. Here’s how to resubscribe to Yahoo emails or undo an unsubscribe action.
If you unsubscribe in the Yahoo Mail mobile app, you can immediately tap the Undo option at the bottom to reverse it. Keep in mind that this action displays only briefly and shows you a quick confirmation if you use it.
Unfortunately, that’s the extent to which Yahoo Mail allows you to undo an unsubscribe action. You won’t currently see this option in the web application, and you cannot resubscribe in either app.
Resubscribe or Undo an Unsubscribe in Clean Email
Once again, you have more control over subscriptions with Clean Email’s Unsubscriber feature. If you mistakenly unsubscribe or want to resubscribe later, it’s easy on any device.
Open Unsubscriber, go to the Unsubscribed tab, and choose Unblock.
Remember, you can also pause subscriptions rather than stop them completely which allows you to simply unpause (unblock) them later.
