GoKawiilThe majority of us have learned to live with overflowing inboxes stuffed with hundreds or thousands of unread emails. If that's not your experience, consider yourself lucky.
Over the years, Gmail has introduced a variety of different tools and features for trying to cut down on this clutter. Manual filters, automatic spam detection, email prioritizing, and inbox tabs all offer ways to cut through the noise of your Gmail account, surfacing the most important messages while keeping the junk and spam out of sight.
One of the newer Gmail tools for keeping your inbox as neat and tidy as possible is called Manage Subscriptions. It focuses on all those regular emails you get, including newsletters and promotions, giving you a simple, clear hub for you to check up on everything you've subscribed your email address to (deliberately or otherwise).
This new view combines with Gmail's existing tools for managing subscriptions, including the ability to unsubscribe from regular messages with a single click or tap. It just might help you get a little bit closer to inbox zero.

You can see the name of the sender, the email address the messages are coming from, and how many messages you've got from this sender over the last few weeks.
