    Thanks for this.
    684 down to 11 :D

    Have re-subscribed to everything and changed my password.
    I was missing out on important emails, this thing was just deleting everything...not just newsletters.

    I can't access it, as it is taking me to a Google page saying the page you requested is invalid. I had this problem for a while when trying to sign into email, after Google changed their login requirements (I use a blueyonder email addy which is no longer valid). Although I don't get that problem now and can manage to access my email normally, I just can't sign into this unroll thing - it won't go any further. Anyone any clues what I could do??

    Thanks for this, I used it yesterday and supposedly got rid of literally hundreds.

    What will be interesting is if the unsubscribe works and how long it takes to filter through as many of my emails today are from ones I unsubscribed to.

    Hopefully.

    Will be keen to see my inbox when I get home from work tonight. There's usually about 300 a day

    Don't hold your hopes up for a quick reduction. My inbox is receiving all the unsubscribed ones plus a fair few new ones yesterday as well that I know I have never agreed to subscribe to.

    It can normally take a few days before unsubscribing kicks in when you do it yourself so I suspect the same applies here. I think the roll up feature is a real winner. All newsletters in one email, brilliant!

    To anyone using this - it DOESN'T unsubscribe, it just accesses your emails and deletes them.
    "Unroll.me takes its users privacy and security extremely seriously. We prefer not to have access to your login information. Whenever possible Unroll.me uses authentication services, such as Gmail's OAuth, to access its users data. However if authentication is not available in another form, Unroll.me takes exceptional care to protect the user login information it does have access to. In short, if you have a Gmail or Outlook.com account, we never have access to your login info. If you have a Yahoo, AOL, or iCloud account, we do. We're hoping these services release a public version of OAuth soon."

    Basically means they have your password!
    Thanks to all posters :A

    Obviously so, as when you create an account it asks for your email addy & password so it can gain access to your emails to look for subscriptions
