Help with all those e-mails

Are you overwhelmed with too many e-mails? Do you find yourself avoiding the 268 messages in your inbox that haven’t even been opened? Are you sick of all the spam you continue to receive? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will love Unroll.me. It’s a free service that allows you to control your e-mails. This is the second time I’ve mentioned this service in my BLOG as well as in numerous speeches and to most of my clients. I’ve been using it for about a year and have found it more useful each week.

You go onto www.unroll.me. You give them your e-mail address and password. You then decide which e-mails you would like to “roll” into one e-mail per day or which you would like to unsubscribe to.  For example, I get between 4-24 e-mails per day with coupons to my favorite stores. I do not shop at these stores every day but when I do, it’s nice to have my electronic coupons handy. I don’t want to stop receiving these e-mails but I also do not want to open 24 of them per day. I rolled them into a daily e-mail from unroll.me so I get one e-mail per day that contains everything I want to receive.

Unroll.me sends me notices when they have found spam e-mails and asks if I would like to roll them into my daily e-mail or unsubscribe to them. Today, I took a spare 10 minutes and unsubscribed to 455 e-mail lists. Yes, I said 455!!! They were all alphabetized so I could see that Old Navy (and many other sites) doesn’t just send from one address but 7 different addresses so I rolled up the one with my coupons and unsubscribed from the other 6.

This should help you keep your e-mail inbox more organized and free from most of the unwanted spam.

Happy organizing!
