Simple email management with Unroll.me.
Have you ever spent hours (or even, one singular hour) trying to de-clutter your inbox from the pile of subscription emails you unwittingly signed up for? I have. I binge unsubscribe embarrassingly often, but very little seems to help. Queue Unroll.Me, an application that makes the inbox de-cluttering process ridiculously easier.
Login to your email account(s) using Unroll.Me, and it sniffs out all your subscriptions and compiles them into a stack. You can then go through the stack and choose to unsubscribe, keep, or roll up by swiping left, right, or up respectively. “Unsubscribing” marks emails as spam, so if, in future, you wanted get those emails again, you could go into your Unroll.Me settings and relocate that subscription to another group. The Rollup is this app’s most interesting feature. It combines all the emails that you don’t necessarily want constantly taking up space in your inbox but also like to keep around just in case your favorite site is having a flash sale or running a sweepstakes to win a vacation to France; then it delivers them to you in one email at your preferred time of day.
I’ve been using Unroll.Me for less than twelve hours, and I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. It is available for free (so you should at least try it) and currently supports Gmail, Google Apps, Yahoo! Mail, AOL, iCloud, and Outlook.com accounts.

Funny to see a “Subscribe To Our Newsletter” message from MacSources between this article and the comments bit. 🙂
I wonder to which question Unroll.me is the answer. I have many tens of newsletter-like messages in my inbox every day. And many messages from Yahoo Groups.
However, I estimate that I will need only ten minutes per day to move most of those messages out of sight (not deleting them!) and have a second look.
And, yes, an appealing offer of something unknown may require a third look that may take hours. But that’s beyond inbox cram.
But if Unroll.me suits you, do enjoy it! 🙂
Thank you for your comment. I believe that Unroll.me just helps some people focus on the task at hand. While some people might find it useful, others may not need it.
I did not think about the Subscribe to our Newsletter till you pointed it out. It is very funny. I just hope people don’t use Unroll.me on us lol. Have a great holiday…
