Spam used to be a huge problem, but it is something that many email providers have worked around. Since spam gets filtered out of your primary inbox in most cases, another major annoyance that many users currently face is unwanted emails from websites that they may have knowingly or unknowingly subscribed to. Now, Google is implementing a robust mechanism to get rid of this problem in Gmail as well.
Google has
started rolling out a new feature in Gmail that enables its users to unsubscribe from certain email senders in a matter of seconds. This is made possible through a Manage subscriptions view that can be accessed from the left navigation panel. Once you click on it, you'll get a dedicated view showing you a list of senders, sorted by how frequently they blast you with emails.
You can simply click the Unsubscribe button next to whichever senders are annoying you the most with frequent emails. You'll be greeted with a prompt asking you to confirm if you want to be removed from the mailing lists of the particular sender, and you just have to acknowledge that. However, Google has cautioned that it may take a few days for senders to stop contacting you via mailing lists.
This is a particularly useful feature, and one that can come in really handy when you are getting those "You have an invitation" emails from LinkedIn, or the likes
