How to Stop Emails from Temu: A Simple Guide

Introduction

Temu is a popular e-commerce platform known for selling products at affordable prices. While the occasional order confirmation and tracking updates are useful, not everyone wants to receive tons of promotional and marketing emails from Temu clogging their inboxes.

Temu's vast user base also attracts phishers and spammers, resulting in even more unwanted emails. After signing up on Temu, people may start to notice an increase in spam emails in their inboxes.

This article offers solutions for common Temu email-related complaints. This guide will help you block all or only promotional emails from Temu, tackle persistent senders impersonating the platform and provide an effective workaround for the broken unsubscribe link problem.

Opt out of Temu Emails from the Mobile App

You can turn off official Temu emails from the Temu mobile app settings to stop receiving them. This is a safer option because you are not unsubscribing by opening a potentially spam or phishing email. There is also no risk of data theft or your account being hacked.

However, this option may not be right for you. You will have to use a different method if you cannot access your account anymore. Moreover, this option only works for legitimate emails from Temu and will not prevent spam or phishing emails impersonating Temu.

  1. Open Temu mobile app.
  2. Go to Settings.
  1. Navigate to Notifications.
  1. Here, you can unsubscribe from emails you don't want to receive, such as promotions and chat messages.

After setting these preferences, you will (hopefully) stop receiving the emails you opted out of. Sometimes, these platforms keep sending you emails even after you unsubscribed. In such cases, you can either set up email filters or, even better- block them.

To comply with email standards, commercial or marketing emails must include an unsubscribe link so that users can opt out of such emails. You can use this link to unsubscribe from Temu emails. The link redirects to a webpage where you can change your email preferences.

  1. Open any email from Temu.
  2. Click the unsubscribe link, usually found at the bottom of the email.

Note: Only click the unsubscribe link if you are sure the email is from a legitimate Temu email address and not a fake email.

Using the unsubscribe link to stop Temu emails is a possible option, but is not highly recommended, considering the rise of spam and phishing emails. Hackers often include a malicious unsubscribe link in their emails to deceive users. Recipients are then bombarded with promotional and marketing emails, manipulating them to click the malicious link.

Moreover, this method doesn't always work. The unsubscribe link may be unavailable or broken. Even if the link works, there is no guarantee that you will stop receiving these emails. Read the following sections for alternative solutions.

Report Temu Phishing Email

If you receive Temu phishing emails, you can report them to your email provider. Most email providers offer the option to report phishing emails. You can do it on Gmail in a few steps. Open the Temu phishing scam email. Click on the three-dot menu and select "Report Phishing". A pop-up message will appear. Select "Report Phishing Message".

The email will be reported to Gmail and marked as spam so that you don't receive similar messages in the future. If Gmail finds that email to be a phishing attack, it will likely blacklist the sender or domain involved.

You can also report the email to Temu, who will likely take action against the scam to prevent such attacks.

Use Block Sender to Block Temu Emails

Manually deleting Temu emails can be a waste of time. However, you can automate this process using email filters or third-party tools like Block Sender. Gmail filters get the job done, but there is no option to delete such emails permanently. The best they can do is send them to the Trash folder for 30 days, after which they will be automatically deleted.

Block Sender has got your back if you want to skip Temu emails to skip the Trash folder altogether. Sign up now and take back control of your inbox. It is also available as a Chrome extension for quick access.

Block an Entire Temu Domain

Blocking an entire domain makes it easy to prevent emails from any email address using that domain. For example, if you don't want to receive marketing/promotional emails from Temu, consider blocking the domain "market.temuemail.com". Here's a step-by-step guide to accomplish it using the Block Sender tool.

  1. Open Gmail.
  2. Click on the Block icon and select "New block".
  1. Select "Website/Domain" from the dropdown.
  2. Type "market.temuemail.com" in the "Website/Domain to block" field.
  1. Select "Delete (skip trash)".

Note: Unlike the "Trash" option, selecting the "Delete" option permanently deletes the blocked emails without sending them to the Trash folder for 30 days.

  1. Finally, click "Save".

You can repeat the same process for any fake Temu domains spamming your inbox.

Note: Don't block domains such as "order.temu.com" if you rely on email updates for order and shipping updates.

Block Temu Spam and Phishing Email Addresses

  1. Open Gmail.
  2. Click on the Block icon and select "New block".
  1. Select "Person (by email)" from the dropdown.
  2. Type the email address you wish to block in the "Email to Block" field, such as "[email protected]".
  1. Select "Delete (skip trash)".
  2. Finally, click "Save".

Bonus Tip

Avoid cluttering your inbox and becoming a target of spam emails upon signing up on e-commerce platforms. Create a secondary email address for online shopping. This will prevent your primary email address from being flooded with unnecessary emails and help streamline your inbox management.

Conclusion

Prevent Temu promotional and marketing emails from overloading your inbox by following the tips highlighted in this guide.

Did you successfully stop receiving official Temu emails but are still getting targeted by Temu phishing emails? Report such emails to your email provider and start using Block Sender to set comprehensive blocking rules to prevent such emails. Consider creating a separate email address for signing up on e-commerce platforms to avoid cluttering your primary inbox.

Employing these strategies will help you declutter your inbox of unwanted Temu emails and welcome a cleaner inbox.
