Is your email inbox (Gmail or Google workspace) overflowing even after buying extra storage? Do you procrastinate deleting useless emails or think about creating a new email account because unwanted newsletters and notifications are overwhelming? This blog is for you!
Step 1: Delete Unwanted Emails
How to Start?
- Identify Unwanted Senders: Look up the email addresses you don’t want to receive emails from. For example, let’s say you want to get rid of Loblaws[1] notifications.
- Search and Delete: Open an email from Loblaws and copy the email address it sent the email from. Go back to your inbox, paste the email address in the search bar, and it will display all emails from that sender. Select all and delete them. Voilà!
Repeat this for all the email addresses cluttering your inbox.
Step 2: Delete Emails by Size
- Filter by Size: Click the search mail bar and select the small filter icon on the right. A window will appear with various options.
- Set Size Filter: Go to the size option and input a number, like 25 MB, to start checking emails by size. Click search, and it will list emails based on your criteria. Review and delete the ones you don’t need.
Step 3: Disable Social Media Notifications
- Turn Off Email Notifications: Go to the settings and privacy section of each of your social media accounts.
- Select Notifications: Look for the notifications section and then email notifications. Turn them off completely or selectively toggle off the ones you don’t want.
