Clean up your hotmail inbox using Sweep menu

HotmailAre you annoyed by the increasing number of unread emails in your inbox with newsletters you unknowingly signed up or with emails from the online shopping sites offering you discount offers? Good news for you. Microsoft has recently introduced a new feature in Hotmail dubbed as “Sweep“. This menu helps recipients to move emails that are not spam, but may no longer be relevant to the recipients from the inbox. With this menu, you can send all emails from a particular domain to trash or another folder in a single mouse click. You can even block all future emails from a domain.

That’s good news and bad news for senders. The good news is that recipients will have an alternative to reporting permissioned mail as spam. Sweep will move unwanted mail out of users’ inboxes without a hit to sender reputation. The bad news is that Sweep remembers user preferences, so if a user sweeps a sender’s mail once, Hotmail is likely to continue to sweep that sender’s mail until the user intervenes.

This video shows how to use “Sweep” menu in Hotmail and achieve the same functionality in Gmail.
