Ozbargainers have a lot of promotional emails, gleam.io spam that mean they use a spam email. What if I told you you can restore your Outlook, Microsoft or Live, and self hosted email to a usable state automatically for free?
"Unlistr is an intelligent outlook 365 tool that helps manage and unsubscribe unwanted email. The service will scan your inbox for spammy emails and will list them all out for you. All you have to do is click on the Unsubscribe button. With the free trial of Unlistr, you can only unsubscribe from up to 5 mailing lists. Normally $19.99 per year to gain complete access to Unlistr."

How it works:
Unlistr is giving 1 year free to Unlistr if you share it with 3 friends via email
I referred myself 3 times, but I mistyped an email and realised that it doesn't check the email is valid when it gave me 1yr and bounced back to me for 1 email

How does this differ from free 'services' like Unroll.me/Cleanfox/Edison mail
These apps are free to collect and sell your data

When you don't pay for the product you are the product.
This is a subscription service/trialware costing $19.99USD a month after the first year with this hack.
This is a long running hack until it's patched. I recommend you to send this Hack and put in real emails of people who would find this useful.

Makes Outlook manageable again
I love this app. Unlistr allowed me to finally clean up my work email. I've been able to quickly unsubscribe and delete years of unwanted emails that have accumulated in my inbox. Unlistr lets me easily view a list of all my subscriptions and easily unsubscribe from them with 1-click. You can also batch unsubscribe to eliminate multiple subscriptions at once. Another helpful feature is a history of all email addresses you have unsubscribed from. I'm definitely recommending this to my coworkers.

Gem of an app for Outlook/365 users
This app is extremely helpful and one of the add-ins I will keep long term. With one click, I see all of my subscriptions, and with another click, I can unsubscribe in bulk. I also like that it sends unsubscribe requests from my email, and I can see all of my unsubscribe requests in my sent items.

It worked on my self hosted domain, but not on my company managed email or Gmail. For Gmail, I use Cleanemail but it's more expensive and not free.

  • If you are using this for work email, just make sure you check your work policy around what apps you can or can't use.

    • It is good policy to vet any third party cloud software for business/work
      Unless you are the sysadmin you won't be able to install it on your work email:
      It only works on domains and emails that have installed it/bought it:
      Acquire Using
      Work or school account
      Microsoft account

  • 403 error on their webpage for me.

    But a lot of spam emails use the "unsubscribe" trickery to determine if your email address is valid and active. By doing so, you are validating it to the spammers and you'll get more spam in the future. 🤷‍♂️

    • Safety
      Avoids suppression lists and other malicious sources of email that might use your unsubscribe requests to send more spam.

      Unlistr is an email productivity app that helps email users select and automatically unsubscribe unwanted email. Using patented technology, Unlistr relays unsubscribe requests when safe, processes unsubscribe links and performs other automated unsubscription tasks. Unlistr also provides customizable features such as the ability to add multiple email accounts and target folders/archives

  • Sounds interesting, but no. I don’t want anything going through/scanning my emails.

    • Gmail, Microsoft and all free services already do this to generate an advertising profile
      It's a much better alternative to the free ones that sell your data

        Using your program won't stop gmail and microsoft from scanning your emails. It only adds an additional company to access and scan the emails.

      • Gmail at least stopped scanning personal mail for advertising purposes 5 years ago and I don’t think ever have for Google Workspace / GSuite users. Not to say Google don’t collect information, but Google gets enough data about a logged in Google account when they perform Google searches to not require scanning mail for those purposes.

        (Note they still scan mail to provide search and other functionality like calendar suggestions etc).

      Actually worse than that. The only strategy can game against spams is delete on spot. Any other actions such as blocking or trying to unsubscribing just like in this post will confirm the validity of your email address and thus invite more spams.

  • Can you provide step by step instructions to get the subscription for free?

  • Any one trying to use this, think again: put aside all the privacy concerns aside, even if this thing really works as expect, this will not help you but actually will invite more spams as it actually confirms the validity of your email to the spammer.

    • Catch 22. You just delete them, they keep coming. You unsubscribe, they keep coming. I average 200+ spam emails a day to my GMail account. What I have learnt is just use throw away emails for everything outside you real life and just copy the details, ie: purchase something and copy receipt info and save, also my new Gmail email is just numbers with initials, harder to directory spam.

      • Before deleting them, report spam/phishing to your email provider. They have much better leverage than us as they can simply block an spamming server or even an IP range. Yep, you were right about using burner email addresses. Actually I went further by using single use email addresses such as temp-mail.org. If your email provider supports, you can actually use alias for such purposes, when they start to attract spams, simply disable or delete the alias.

  • Gmail has this option already. You can Unsubscribe from a mailing list by clicking on the 3 dots(settings) when you open an email and select Unsubscribe.

    Is this different?

    • It automatically scans all email for spam and mailing lists then records them for you and you can choose how many to unsubscribe in 2 clicks instead of 1 by 1 over days

  • I see this as useful for the case where you have many legit company subscriptions. But then I can just do it myself as it only takes a second each and should only require it being done once.
    Any actual junk is filtered and you shouldn’t click the unsubscribe on those as mentioned earlier.

    • Most companies will send you emails if your ever buy from them or go on their site
      For gleam and anybody who has been using it a while it unsubbed 2000+ mailing lists for me

      • And that number is only going to multiply as each time you 'unsubscribe', you're only inviting more spammers to add you to their lists.

    Thought you disabled your account Levity after your posts had sockpuppeting detected in them, twice?

    • Nah that was urbanswan's doing I'm not affiliated with them

    Hmm - I’ll avoid. Privacy policy states they can sell personal information to affiliates and one of the purposes is advertising.

      Lol and OP was all like

      Gmail, Microsoft and all free services already do this to generate an advertising profile
      It's a much better alternative to the free ones that sell your data

    I just use a separate gmail address for anything that will most likely end up spamming you or selling your email addresses

    Very effective and totally free

    So rather than trusting Google to quietly delete spam without informing the spammer they hit a target, you can ensure that the checking of the headers which Google has to do to to deliver the mail isn't utilised, but this program will instead take care of letting whoever sent the spam know that they have a "live" e-mail they can then sell on as part of an aggregation, for only ~A$0.10 a day. This and 'research" from (checks again in utter disbelief) the Daily Mail.

    You're not really from these parts are you.
