How To Unsubscribe from Foreign Emails that You Cannot Even Read

A "How To" on What to Do

when your e-mail account is loaded with advertising in languages  you cannot read and you have no idea

how to unsubscribe from them:

By Bill Russo

So today I spent my morning like many others; with a cup of coffee and a boatload of frustration at my inability to figure out how to delete more than a dozen different foreign advertisements clogging up my inbox.

Some of the emails were from stores. Others promoted specific products.  All were in languages that are completely unreadable to me.  I tried and tried to find something that looked like the English word "Unsubscribe".

I like to clean  my E-mail account on a regular basis and get rid of all the unwanted ones.  It's usually easy to do.  You simply hit "Unsubscribe" and they're gone. 

But what about these foreign e-mails? You can't read them. You can't delete them...they just come back again. How does some company in Finland, Germany, or France get my Email address?

I finally solved this small crisis by researching the foreign words for UNSUBSCRIBE and then scanning the tag ends of the offending communications for words like ABMELDEN (German for unsub), Se desebonner (French), Afmeldon (Dutch) and MALAMONI (Esperanto for unsubscribe). 

It worked. I was able to get rid of half a dozen habitual offenders. 

Here's a few more translations. Finland: Loreta Tilaus, Italian: Annulla l'iscrizione --- or as my Paisan Nonno (Grandfather) would say 'Get Out u Summa ma beech'.
