How can Outlook automatically unsubscribe me from emails?

By John Campbell

I fancy unsubscribing from non-personalized emails (e.g. newsletters from tourism websites). I'm not asking about blocking, or unsubscribing from everything from, the same sender (e.g. replies from this tourism websites' staff to my emails).

I can't find the following features in Outlook.live.com or in MS Outlook 2016.

  1. Login to Outlook.com
  2. Click a newsletter email
  3. Click Sweep button (at very top under search)enter image description here
  4. Select 'Move all messages from the Inbox folder and any future messages', OKenter image description here

Outlook 2016 app doesn't have Sweep feature from what I can tell, below are some similar options:

  • Click email, Unsubscribe button. I believe it just clicks the Unsubscribe link usually at the bottom of the email

  • Right-click email, Junk, Block Senderenter image description here

  • Right-click email, Rules, Always Move Messages From: CompanyNameenter image description here

An Outlook Uservoice postgives this advice:

To create the sweep rule to move all messages from a user in the Inbox folder and all future messages:

  1. Select the email or emails with the senders you which to move
  2. Click the "Sweep" Button or click "Move-to → Move all emails from"
  3. Select the option "Move all messages from the Inbox folder and any future messages"
  4. Choose the folder you wish to move these messages to
  5. Click OK

Although I'm not using Outlook, I understand from the above that if you don't see a Sweep button, then Move-to is an alternative.
