You can unsubscribe from all LinkedIn email, but you'll still get email for any <i>new</i> category they invent later. So I keep having to do this every few months. For example: "endorsements" became a thing and suddenly I had to turn that pointless spam off too.<p>I expect they'll invent a new product which involves opting everyone in.
I left linkedin a long time ago but I still get emails when someone wants to connect. I must have opted out of those a dozen times! Nope, still get 'em.<p>Also, pedant speaking here, "in one click" isn't really an accurate description of this process.
What about Google+ and Facebook? Although I would argue Google+ is the worse one since it automatically add you to every notification possible when you only want to sign up for a Mail Account.
This is perfect. Nothing much else to say really. I am getting sick and tired of LinkedIn's spam and dodgy techniques when it comes to marketing. This should temporarily stop the spam until they decide to add more mail-out categories.<p>I cancelled my LinkedIn premium membership just before as well. As a premium user you still get spammed the same as a non-premium user and I can live without it. Vote with your wallet as they say. LinkedIn really need to re-valuate where they stand, you know a situation is desire when many people share a similar sentiment and you have to resort to using Javascript hacks to unsubscribe from email notifications, it shouldn't be this hard.
It says something that LinkedIn has come to this. I've fiddled with the email settings on almost 10 separate occasions. Those controls do pretty much nothing though, either accidentally or intentionally.
Shouldn't you be able to do this with a link in the footer of their emails? If I recall correctly, it's US law that companies (and websites in general) have to put unsubscribe links in their emails.
I don't understand why everyone doesn't just mark all Linkedin email as spam. That's what I did eventually all email from Linkedin goes to spam. That's what to do with spam.
I went into LinkedIn and deleted all my profile details. No more spam from recruiters, but also no 'ghost' profile I have no control over. Not perfect, but it'll do.
That's funny. I found out that I ignore emails from most websites, except those from LinkedIn. I don't know why, but I click on all of them (and usually follow the link). No other website is able to bring me back with emails.<p>Maybe it's because I never go on LinkedIn otherwise. Maybe it's because all the emails they send me are paired with an action, maybe it's just an habit I gained. In any case, they work for me.
This is nice, LinkedIn are infuriating. My startup is in the email space and we have a very strong opinion against sending spam and providing genuine unsubscribes. Unsubscribing someone is easy, there's no excuse except that they don't want to. Keep adding them to spam as their ESP probably has a feedback loop and it could affect their sending reputation eventually.
Problem here is that I would have to log in.<p>And really, the problem for me isn't stuff sent to <i>my</i> mail, but invitations sent to every mailinglist I'm a part of.
the first time i followed these steps, i got a "sorry, your preferences can't be saved because you need to verify one of your email addresses" – which honestly felt about right.<p>fortunately it worked the second time.
