How to Stop Temu Emails
Quick answer: To stop Temu emails, open a recent Temu email and unsubscribe, then go to your Temu notification settings at https://www.temu.com/bgp_preferences.html and switch off the categories you don't want. Temu controls its email by category, so one unsubscribe click usually stops only a single type. To clear the backlog, search from:temu in Gmail and bulk delete.
What Temu actually sends you
Temu sends promotions and marketing (sales, coupons, flash deals, price drops), order updates (confirmed, shipped, tracking), account notifications (password resets, verification, policy updates), and chat message notifications. The reason your inbox fills up is that these are often separate lists or notification types, so switching off one doesn't stop the rest.
How to stop Temu emails, step by step
- Unsubscribe from a recent email. Open a recent Temu email and use its unsubscribe link.
- Turn it off at the source. Open Temu's email or notification settings at https://www.temu.com/bgp_preferences.html (App: You > Settings > Notifications > Edit per category. Website: log in > username (top right) > Notifications (left sidebar) > Edit per category) and turn off the categories you don't want.
Does unsubscribing from Temu actually work?
Temu organizes notifications by category (promotions, order updates, chat) and by channel (email, SMS, push) separately, so toggling one category or one channel off leaves the others sending. Unsubscribing does not stop all email at once. You have to open each category, especially Promotions, and set Email to off. Order and account emails keep coming while the account is active. Users report the in-email unsubscribe link is unreliable, and that changes can take up to about 72 hours, so logging in and toggling settings is the more reliable path. That's the part most "how to unsubscribe" guides miss, and it's why Temu email often keeps arriving after people think they've opted out.
Clear out the Temu emails already in your inbox
Unsubscribing stops new mail. It doesn't remove what's already there. On desktop Gmail, search from:temu, click the select-all checkbox, then click "Select all conversations that match this search", and hit the trash icon. Empty Trash to reclaim the storage.
If Temu is just one of many senders crowding your inbox, MailMop ranks every sender by volume so you can bulk delete and unsubscribe across all of them in one pass, in your browser. MailMop users have cleared over 2 million emails this way.
A couple of Temu-specific tips
- Turn the Email channel off inside every category, especially Promotions, through logged-in Settings, since Temu separates email, SMS, and push per category and the in-email link often errors out.
- If mail continues after about 72 hours, filter or block it at your email provider. Order and account emails keep coming until you close the account.
