FAQs
What is Leave Me Alone and how will it help me?
Leave Me Alone is the best service to take back control of your inbox!
Unsubscribe from unwanted emails with 1 click, add your favorite emails to daily or weekly Rollup digests, and block everything else with Inbox Shield.
Unsubscribed emails are gone forever. Emails added to your Rollup are moved to a folder in your mailbox to read later, and we'll send your Rollup digest every day, multiple days, or once per week - you decide!
How is Leave Me Alone different from other services like Unroll.me?
When we scan your inbox we NEVER sell any of your data for marketing (it's been reported that Unroll.me do this, you can read about it in The New York Times).
We unsubscribe you instantly from the lists and don't move them to trash or apply any labels. Those subscriptions are gone forever, even if you decide to stop using our service.
Plus, with Leave Me Alone you can receive multiple Rollup digests at different scheduled times to better organise your inbox.
How can you tell which emails are subscriptions?
We never read the content of any of your emails but we do have access to some metadata - information about an email which you don't usually see.
This metadata contains information on how to unsubscribe from the mailing list which we can use.
How do you unsubscribe me from emails?
If there's an unsubscribe link provided we follow it and unsubscribe you.
If the sender didn't provide a link then we send an email on your behalf using a unique address which identifies your subscription.
If the provider obeys the rules then this should work, and you'll now be unsubscribed.
Why is Leave Me Alone not free?
Leave Me Alone is a paid service (so that you know we don't need to sell your data to keep afloat), but we've tried to keep our pricing as fair and affordable as possible.
Emails we scan on your behalf are streamed directly to you and not stored by our system. This means you can be sure we will never exploit your data in order to keep our lights on.
What mail providers do you support?
We support all Google and Microsoft email accounts including Gmail, G Suite, Googlemail, Outlook, Office 365, Live, Hotmail, and MSN.
We also support all email accounts with Fastmail, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, AOL, and all other mailboxes that work with IMAP.
What information can you access about me?
We require permission to view your email messages and settings so we can identify subscription emails and display them to you.
Can I delete my account?
You can deactivate your account in your account settings at any time. This will delete all of your data and sign you out.
You will still be able to create an account again to clean your inbox in the future.
Can I re-subscribe to mailing lists?
Sorry, we can't subscribe you to a mailing list you have unsubscribed from. You'd need to visit the website and subscribe again manually.
Can I get help from a real person?
Yes! We are personally available to answer any questions or help you get setup. You can send us an email or find us on Twitter.
