Unsubscribing should be the end of it. Often it isn't. Some lists ignore the request, some quietly start again a few months later, and some sell your address on to someone else.

The **Unsubscribed Emails** tab on the [Spam Blocker page](https://app.leavemealone.com/spam-blocker) is your safety net. It's the list of every sender you've unsubscribed from with the Unsubscriber, and with the Spam Blocker switched on, any of them that email you again get moved straight out of your inbox.

## What's on the list

Every sender you've unsubscribed from ends up here automatically. You don't have to add anything.

If we've blocked anything from a sender recently, their row shows a "**blocked this week"** count, so you can see which lists are ignoring your unsubscribe and still trying.

## What happens when they email you again

Their email is moved to your spam folder instead of your inbox, and it appears in **Recently blocked** with an `old-unsubscribe` label so you can see exactly why.

Two things need to be switched on for this to happen:


1. The **Spam Blocker** itself, using the toggle at the top of the page. It's off until you turn it on.
2. **Also block unsubscribed mailing-lists**, under **Options**. This one is already on, so enabling the Spam Blocker is usually all you need to do.

See [Customising the Spam Blocker](/doc/customising-the-spam-blocker-SWMSarl9jD) if you'd rather leave the Spam Blocker on but turn this part off.

## Finding a sender

The list shows 50 senders per page, with a search box and an account filter at the top.


:::tip
The search box needs at least four characters before it starts filtering. If you type one, two, or three letters and nothing seems to happen, that's why. Keep going.

:::

If you've connected more than one email account, use the account dropdown to narrow the list to a single mailbox.

## Letting a sender back in

Changed your mind about a sender? Find them in the list, click **Undo unsubscribe**, then click **Confirm**.

That removes them from this list, so we stop blocking them and their emails arrive normally again. If we set up a filter in your mailbox for that unsubscribe, we remove that too. And if that sender was blocked in your Screener, they go back to being undecided, so you can make a fresh choice next time they write.


:::warning
**Undoing an unsubscribe will not re-subscribe you to the mailing list.**

When you unsubscribed, we followed the unsubscribe link and went through the process for real. We unfortunately can't un-ring that bell. Undoing tidies up our side of it, so we stop blocking them, but if you want their emails again you'll need to sign up on their website like you did the first time.

There's more detail in [How can I undo an unsubscribe?](/doc/how-can-i-undo-an-unsubscribe-EjxSE3t1oD).

## Exporting your list

At the bottom of the tab there's an **Export as XML** button. It downloads your unsubscribed senders as a Gmail filter file that you can import into Gmail.

The filters label incoming mail from those senders rather than blocking it, so it's best thought of as a portable record of who you've unsubscribed from, useful as a backup or if you ever stop using Leave Me Alone.
