in order of severity:
1. Delete the selected email
2. Unsubscribe available through
Gmail’s native unsubscribe link
3. [NEW] Block like blocking someone

4. Report spam and potentially damage

WHY
Respect your subscribers. Help subscribers clear
their clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy
inbox.
Email marketing databases naturally degrade by
about 22.5% every year.
Enable relevant content to be received by
maintaining a clean list of quality subscribers
Dead subscribers drag down deliverability, and
interfere with metrics and analysis.
