FAQs
Does Superhuman Mail automatically Unsubscribe for me?
Yes and no. Superhuman Mail takes one of three actions when you use the unsubscribe feature:
- It sends an email to the source to unsubscribe for you.
- It sends and email to the source to unsubscribe for you and pulls forward a company page.
- It directs you to the unsubscribe page of the company.
Generally, Superhuman Mail can unsubscribe for you, unless a company has a particular Unsubscribe page.
If I Block a sender or domain, can I Unblock them?
Yes! On desktop, hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Blocked Senders to view the list of Blocked senders. You can Unblock an address simply by clicking Unblock. On mobile, two-finger tap then type Blocked Senders. Select the account of your choice then tap the red minus sign to Unblock an address.
Do you suggest marking emails as Junk rather than Unsubscribe or Block?
Junk and Block have similar results, but slightly different purposes.
Marking an email as Junk moves it to your Junk folder, but you aren't automatically blocking the sender. This should reroute any future emails from that sender to your Spam folder, but you may still receive some emails from the same domain in the future. Marking Junk helps train the system to identify similar types of emails and improve your inbox performance.
Blocking may be a better option when you want to stop receiving messages from an unwanted sender. These emails may not typically be Spam/Junk. Marking them as Junk would confuse the junk filter capturing unintended emails into the Junk folder. Blocking allows you to stop receiving those messages without confusing the Junk filter.
