Tired of wading through countless spam email messages whenever you check your inbox? The good news is that you don’t have to put up with spam. You can take many easy steps to kick it out of your email inbox and life. We have given some of the ways below.
The Power of Filters
You can create a filter that whitelists all of your important emails. This in turn will send whatever doesn’t meet your qualifications into a different folder that you can explore later.
A More Subtle Serving of Spam
A less well-known type of spam that is growing in popularity is bacn. This is more discreet, consisting of such things as e-newsletters that you either mistakenly signed up for or no longer want. These emails, while not as spammy as those come-ons for discount Rolex watches or revolutionary diet pills, can still clutter your inbox.
A very simple way to get these out of your inbox is to make a filter that automatically sequesters emails with the word “unsubscribe” in them. The CAN SPAM act necessitates that companies have an unsubscribe option in their marketing emails. Therefore, all emails you have opted into will have unsubscribe in them somewhere.
These two basic steps will help liberate your inbox of its spam and they’ll undoubtedly make you a more productive computer user. So before you decide to spend the next 30 minutes deleting the spam or bacn from your inbox, be sure to set up the filters that will ensure that your most important messages stay a priority.
