How to Be Removed From a Mail List
Removing your email address from a mailing list, in a typical scenario, is easy to achieve. In the United States, you have a legal right to request the removal of your email address from a company's mailing list. You might want to unsubscribe from an email list because you have moved or because you are no longer interested in what a company has to offer. In most cases, you can remove your email address by clicking on an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email that you received.

Unsubscribe your email address. When you receive an email from a business corporation, or another type of business entity, by law --- as confirmed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission --- the company is required to provide a means by which you can request to unsubscribe from the mailing list. Most companies provide the ability to unsubscribe through a link entitled "Unsubscribe" in a very small font at the bottom of the email. If you click on this link, it will typically direct you to a page on the Internet in which you confirm that you want to unsubscribe your email address.

Send an email to the company from which you want to unsubscribe your email address, and state that you would like to stop receiving marketing materials. If Step 1 is not an option, email the company from the address to which you are receiving unwanted emails. Write "Unsubscribe" on the subject line and in the body of the email. A reputable company will always respect your request because it is against the law to refuse a marketing mail removal request.

Block the email address. If Step 1 or Step 2 has not solved the issue, block the email address from your Web client. If you're receiving unsolicited emails from non-reputable entities -- commonly referred to as SPAM -- filter the emails. You can do this by right clicking on the email and choosing the SPAM or "Junk" option. Most contemporary webmail providers as of 2011 provide a junk email filter that you can utilize to block SPAM emails.
