“Unsubscribing” does not necessarily stop the receipt of email - but may in fact merely confirm the existence of a “live” mailbox.


Reputable companies offer unsubscribe links - and they will honour unsubscribe requests. In many countries, legislation forces commercial entities to provide an unsubscribe mechanism - and are required to honour such requests. However, spam or malicious senders of email are unlikely to be so accommodating.


If you are experiencing particular difficulties with unwanted email, you’ll need to investigate the filtering options that may be provider by your email service provider - such as your Internet Service Provider.
