Can I unsubscribe from email chains in Outlook?

Solution 1:

Just click the 'Ignore' button...it will auto-delete the thread and any future messages that come in on the same thread. Very quick and efficient for group emails you don't care about.

Solution 2:

I'm a little late to the Outlook party, but I found the following workaround which would allow one to achieve this:

• Select Reply All (and mention that you're removing yourself from the thread).
• Go to the Options tab.
• Select Direct Replies To and specify that replies are to be directed to some other user who is currently in the conversation.

Now, all further Reply All-s will have you removed from the recipient list (unless explicitly re-added, of course).

P.S.: This is only when you were initially mentioned explicitly as a recepient. This will not work if you're part of a list present in the recipient field.
