What You Need to Know Before Deleting Emails
Deleting emails is a fast way to declutter — just make sure you don’t lose something you’ll regret. Here are a few things worth keeping in mind before you start mass-deleting emails from a specific sender:
- Attachments will be lost: When you delete an email, any files or images it contains are also deleted. So take a moment to review your inbox before hitting delete — especially if the sender sometimes mixes in useful information with the clutter.
- Trash isn’t forever: Most email providers automatically delete messages in the Trash folder after a set period — 30 days in Gmail, 7 days in Yahoo. So it’s best not to rely on the trash as a long-term backup.
- This won’t stop future emails: Deleting messages doesn’t block the sender. If you want to stop receiving emails from them altogether, you’ll need to unsubscribe, block the sender, or create a filter.

How to Stop Receiving Emails from a Sender
Deleting old emails is great — but if you keep getting unwanted messages from the same sender, it’s worth taking an extra step to stop them altogether.
Here’s how:
1. Unsubscribe
Most marketing emails include an Unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it to stop future emails from that sender. In Gmail and Outlook, you may also see an Unsubscribe button near the top of the message. Learn more about how to unsubscribe from promotional emails.
2. Block the Sender
If you’re getting unwanted messages from the same person or email address, you can block them. This will send all future emails from that sender straight to your Spam or Trash folder.
- Gmail: Open the email > click the three-dot menu > Block [sender].
- Outlook: Right-click the email > Security options > Block**.
- Yahoo Mail: Open the email > click the three-dot menu > Block sender.
3. Set Up Filters to Auto-Delete
Lastly, you can create a filter (or rule) that automatically deletes emails from a specific sender. This is a good option for repeat messages that don’t have an unsubscribe link.
- Go to your email settings.
- Create a new filter or rule.
- Set the condition to From = [email protected].
- Set the action to Delete or Move to Trash.
- Save your changes.
And voilà. New emails from that sender will be deleted automatically — no extra clicks needed. Learn more about how to filter emails in Gmail to save time and protect your inbox from unwanted messages.
Conclusion
Whether you’re using Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or Apple Mail, clearing out emails from a single sender can be a powerful way to take back control of your inbox — especially if you’re drowning in newsletters, promos, or old threads you no longer need.
Just remember: after 7 to 30 days, these emails will be permanently deleted. Once that happens, there’s no getting them back. So take a second to double-check before you hit delete.
