New in Unsubscriber: emails marked as read

August 4 2011, 1:01pm

About a month ago we launch our new Unsubscriber product for Yahoo! mail. The easiest way to unsubscribe from those pesky newsletters and promotional emails, by just moving them into the Unsubscribe folder. No user names or passwords to remember, just peace of mind and a cleaner Inbox. It has been a huge success with over 550k emails being moved into the Unsubscribe folder everyday. The majority of the feedback that we’ve received is praise for the application along with some suggestions on how to improve it. The most common being that emails in the Unsubscribe folder should not be counted as unread. Seems you don’t like to be reminded that those emails ever existed! So now, if Unsubscriber moves an email out of your way, it will mark it as “read” as well. Your Unread count will no longer include emails moved by Unsubscriber. This only affects new emails that are processed, so if your Unsubscribe folder has unread emails in it and you want to clean it up, just follow these simple steps; 1. Open the folder list, by clicking on the triangle next to the word folder. 2. Click on the Unsubscribe folder. 3. Select all the emails in the folder. 4. From the actions menu select “Mark as Read”. Note that any unread emails that you manually move into the unsubscribe folder will not automatically marked as read. Don’t be shy about letting us know what else we can do to improve your Unsubscriber experience. Simply drop us an email at help@otherinbox.com, tweet us on Twitter or post up on Facebook!
