Newsletters and Unsubscribing

Nid helps you identify the newsletters and mailing lists you're subscribed to, then clean them up in bulk.

Scan for Newsletters

1. Open the Newsletters page in the sidebar
2. Click Scan on the Gmail account of your choice
3. A scan job is launched — it analyzes the List-Unsubscribe headers of your recent emails

Detected Newsletters List

After the scan, Nid displays a list of all detected newsletters, showing for each:

• Sender: the newsletter's sending address
• Email count: how many emails you've received from this sender
• Total size: the space occupied by these emails

The list is sorted by email count in descending order, highlighting the most intrusive newsletters.

Clean Up Newsletters

For each newsletter, two deletion options are available:

Move to Trash

Moves all emails from this sender to Gmail's trash. Emails can be recovered for 30 days.

Permanently Delete

Permanently deletes all emails from this sender. This action is irreversible.

Also unsubscribe from the sender

Nid detects newsletters but does not handle unsubscribing from the sender itself. Open the latest email from the newsletter and click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email to stop receiving new emails.

Best Practices

1. Scan regularly to detect new newsletters
2. Start with trash rather than permanent deletion
3. Combine with an automatic rule to automatically delete future emails from a newsletter (see Rules)
