# How do I stop getting so many emails from Amazon? — Adinand Email Cleaner

**Start on Amazon's side: its Communications Preference Center turns off marketing email, and a separate page called Your Email Subscriptions handles the newsletters and program emails. Unsubscribing in Gmail one message at a time only reaches the list that message came from.** Below are Amazon's own steps, the gap in them about order and delivery emails, a quick way to tell a real Amazon email from a fake one, and the Gmail tools for whatever is left.

## Turn off Amazon's marketing <p>Amazon's help page "Unsubscribe from Amazon Marketing" gives these steps ([*Unsubscribe from Amazon Marketing*](https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GJAW9SFGM8XTS89H), Amazon Customer Service, read 10 October 2026):</p> <ol> <li>Go to the [Communications Preference Center](https://www.amazon.com/gp/cpc/homepage) while signed in.</li> <li>"From the General Settings category, expand the Email subcategory", where the page names the option "Do not send me any marketing email for now".</li> <li>Select Save changes.</li> <li>For paper mail as well, expand the Mail category and clear "Get occasional marketing about products, services, deals, and recommendations in the mail", then Save changes again.</li> </ol> <p>A word of care on step 2: as published, Amazon's sentence tells you to "uncheck" a box whose label says "Do not send me any marketing email", and those two pull in opposite directions. Go by what the screen says, and leave it in the state where no marketing email is sent.</p>

## Newsletters, Prime and Subscribe & Save emails <p>The marketing switch does not cover everything. Amazon's note on the same page: "You can manage your other email subscriptions (subscription emails, and emails about programs you are enrolled in) in Your Email Subscriptions." Its subscription page lists four places to change them: Your Amazon Prime Membership, Your Subscribe & Save Items, the Communication Preferences Center "(for deals, product recommendations, new releases, and more.)", and Amazon Delivers Email Subscriptions. Then the wait: "It may take 1-5 business days for your new preferences to take effect." ([*Change Your Subscription Email Preferences*](https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GXSTUM6E6RZDAQRY), read 10 October 2026). So a quiet inbox the next morning is not the test; give it a week.</p>

## Order and delivery emails <p>Neither of those two Amazon pages says whether order confirmations, shipping updates or delivery notices can be switched off; they cover marketing and subscriptions only (both pages above, read 10 October 2026). Our suggestion is to keep them anyway. They are the record of what you bought, and they are the emails Amazon's own fraud advice asks you to compare against.</p>

## Check it really is Amazon <p>Some of what looks like Amazon mail is not. Amazon's guide to fake emails gives a test you can run in a minute: "Message Center will have all email communication sent by Amazon. If the email doesn't appear in Message Center, then it wasn't sent by Amazon." It adds that real Amazon emails are "sent from an amazon.com email address", and that genuine Amazon web addresses "have a dot '.' before ' amazon.com '" ([*How to identify fake emails*](https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=Teu845SZK0ApsIgmGC), read 10 October 2026). If a message fails that test, report it through Amazon's Report a Scam page rather than clicking anything in it, including an unsubscribe link.</p>

## What Gmail can add <ul> <li>**Unsubscribe.** Next to the sender's name; Google warns it "might only unsubscribe you from a single mailing list from the sender", and that stopping can take "a few days" ([*Unsubscribe from an email*](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15433283), read 10 October 2026). Gmail's Manage subscriptions screen goes wider and "unsubscribes you from all active mailing lists related to the sender" ([*Manage your subscriptions in Gmail*](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15621070), read 10 October 2026). Both are covered on [unsubscribing in Gmail](https://adinandemail.com/answers/how-to-unsubscribe-from-emails-gmail).</li> <li>**Block, with care.** "After you block the sender, all future emails from them go to Spam." ([*Block an email address in Gmail*](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/8151), read 10 October 2026). Block only the exact address the offers come from; if that same address also sends your receipts, they would go to Spam too.</li> <li>**A filter** on that one address, set to skip the inbox or delete, catches what keeps coming without blocking anyone. [How Gmail filters work](https://adinandemail.com/answers/gmail-filters) walks through it.</li> </ul>

## Clearing the backlog <p>Settings stop new mail; they leave years of old offers where they are. [Adinand Email Cleaner](https://adinandemail.com/) lists your Gmail by sender, so Amazon's years of mail sit together where you can look before choosing what goes to Gmail's Trash. Its Unsubscribe follows what the email itself provides: a one-click request first, then the sender's web page, then an email to the unsubscribe address. And an auto-trash rule becomes an ordinary Gmail filter that keeps running even if you remove the app. The free version includes 3 of those rules. It cannot change your settings at Amazon, and everything it clears goes to Gmail's Trash first.</p>
