At this point, you should have completed [Step 1: Connecting your first email account](/doc/25ff697e-a354-4b72-b212-cd1e0d0511d1)

Now we'll start scanning your mailbox for subscriptions and newsletters! - This could take a few minutes, so feel free to go grab a coffee whilst you wait.

**We'll scan your mailbox for mailing lists received in the past 6 months.** 

In our experience, if a mailing list hasn't emailed you for over 6 months, then you've probably already unsubscribed from them, or they've removed you from their list. 


But if they do begin emailing you again, we'll surface new email and you'll be able to unsubscribe as usual

**Once the scan is complete it's time to start unsubscribing!**

### Not seeing as many results as you expect?

By default we only scan your main folders, and ignore any items in your Spam and Trash folders. If you already keep quite a tidy inbox then you might not have many mailing lists to find!
