Graymail is email that comes from organizations that you have at one time or another granted permission to send you email. Suddenly you are receiving way more email from them than you signed up for. A free magazine offer may mean graymail from dozens of companies you never heard of.

Tips:

1. Use a secondary email account for retailers that you may want offers from
2. Use throw away accounts for things like websites that want your email address
3. Don’t mark it as junk mail unless you don’t want to hear from them again
4. Be proactive and about giving your email address to businesses you wouldn't do business online
5. Unsubscribe or manage your subscription preferences once graymail is received
6. Make use of built in tools such as Priority Inbox for Gmail or categories
7. Filters or labels for email with subscribe or unsubscribe in the message body
8. Resist free magazines, white papers and others because they market your email address
