If it's proper junk / spam, then "unsubscribing" will not actually unsubscribe you from anything, and will almost certainly make it worse.

Stimo22 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Have a look at the address that sent the email, if it is from a normal looking email address then just reply with something like “ This email has been removed and reported as a scam attempt “. This often leads to them stopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted October 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 My laptops getting on a bit nearly 9 years old i try to clear out my emails and history every day some times it helps it run faster better sometimes no . Usually got to start it a couple of times to get the internet but once its going it usually fine i was just thinking clearing out 50 odd emails a day must free up something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
