Ask HN: How is LinkedIn pulling in contacts from an unlinked email account?

1 pointsby vjvjover 11 years ago
I found out a while ago that I had unwittingly given LinkedIn access to my Gmail account. I manually removed every single contact LI had auto-imported and deleted the email address from my LinkedIn profile.<p>However, I continue to receive suggestions for people who I have emailed with my now unlinked account. It&#x27;s baffling me how LinkedIn is still pulling these in...<p>I haven&#x27;t changed the password of my gmail account since disconnecting from LinkedIn, but surely LinkedIn won&#x27;t store this password&#x2F;continue to access the account?!
