How to Block Junk Email Quick and Easy

Spam and junk mail may seem similar, but unlike spam, which refers to emails that the user did not choose to receive, junk mail often comes from opt-in services, such as catalogs, promotional materials, and requests for donations. Even though they are different, they both have one thing in common, and that is cluttering our inboxes. DoNotPay can make your inbox clean in less than two minutes.

How to Block Junk Email With DoNotPay

Digging for an important email among the unwanted ones can be exhausting. No matter how many emails you delete, the annoying ones just keep on appearing. It does not have to be that way. With DoNotPay, you can decide which emails you want in your inbox and which ones do not belong in there—all you have to do is:

1. Log in to your DoNotPay account from your web browser
2. Click on Spam Collector
3. Enter your email address to connect it with DoNotPay
4. When you receive a junk email, forward it to spam@donotpay.com

Once you do that, you can expect the following:

• You will be unsubscribed automatically
• If there is a Class Action against the sender, you can join it. In that case, you will see a flag in the Spam Collector tab of your DoNotPay dashboard

Your inbox will no longer be filled with unwanted mail, and if you also want to unsubscribe from emails, you don't need to look any further—DoNotPay can do that for you. Are you an Android user? Do not worry, DoNotPay can also help you block spam email on your Android phone, and it will not take more than two minutes.
