I have a Verizon.net email for my friends and family, and Gmail for everything else. The daily volume of junk email in my Gmail account seems to have grown exponentially. Force of habit I just delete them, and also because it takes extra steps to unsubscribe.
When I do unsubscribe, it's no longer just clicking a button. Most of the time I have to re-enter my email address, click a box as to my reason, click a box telling them Yes, I really do want to unsubscribe, etc etc.
And in the end I'm not even sure if I will in fact be unsubscribed.
Maybe I'm very late to the game on this, but I just "discovered" that I can block a sender through my Gmail. Much quicker. Hopefully this will ultimately reduce the junk mail.
