There are ads on my emails and it will tell me it's an ad. OK, so how do I get rid of it? There  is no unsubscribe on one that doesn't say unsubscribe. I found in their "policies" an email address and I told them to stop. They said so sorry, we will cease. But they don't. In fact they are even more active. At least two a day. My computer doesn't have a "block" thing. I would love that.

@Judaline  If you reply to those emails, the sender knows it's an active account. It's best just to ignore them.

Those unwanted emails have always been a problem and I "unsubscribe" without replying directly to any unknown senders because as ChickenButt (cute name) says, they use it as an identifier that your email is valid.  I have Outlook and a Google mail accounts and have "Junk" and "Spam" folders set up to empty in 30 days, so I don't have to remember to delete them.  A right click on the message gives you options to move it automatically upon receipt to Junk or Delete folders.

Please remember DO NOT click on any message from an unknown sender.  They are out there to get you!

Unsubscribe has been around forever.

What I recently discovered was on my AOL browser, they have a setting called subscriptions, which I found accidentally.

It shows in alphabetical order, what emails I routinely receive and how many emails they send per week.  Retailers tend to send the most.    

THAT was very helpful and helped me reduce my emails.

@pattypeep   I unsubscribe all the time. However, I make sure it is not someone I do business with, or might like to receive an occasional Emil from. I do one of a few things. Those unsolicited emails I never want to see again, I send to spam. Those I do business with, or wnt an occasional email or coupon I go to site and cut off all emails but  pertinent ones. Like a once a month sale, or sometimes I only request Emails when doing business like sale receipt, shipping, delivery emails only. Most legitimate websites have these options
