That&#x27;s valid, I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;ve done the same more times than I know. My general rule is if it&#x27;s from a brand or site I know I&#x27;ve interacted with or generally recognize I&#x27;ll spend two seconds to check the unsub options.<p>If the unsub requires me to log in first, I mark it spam instead. If the link looks fishy and&#x2F;or I can&#x27;t readily discern it&#x27;s of any quality it&#x27;s spam. If I have no clue why I could&#x27;ve gotten the message it gets flagged for sure.<p>Luckily for me I get very few emails per month that I don&#x27;t know why I would&#x27;ve gotten them, so it isn&#x27;t a painful exercise to give them a chance to not get flagged.<p>I use Unroll.me[0] to manage the messages I do want to get, but want to check on my own time and I don&#x27;t want them sitting in my inbox. I&#x27;m sure there are other types of services, but I&#x27;m generally happy with what they do. They also can manage a lot of the opt-out features as well, not sure if it &#x27;protects&#x27; me any more than doing it myself though.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unroll.me" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unroll.me</a>
