Oh man I hate receiving spam from these people. They don't provide an unsubscribe link, and when I ask them to stop sending me these e-mails, they say they won't and that I should manually log in to their website and delete my account. I don't have time to deal with this but I hope someone takes them to task for that.

If you mark it as SPAM, it should cause their mail reputation to take a hit, and your mail server should prevent their emails from getting to your inbox.

Wow. That's newbie behavior. By now 99% of "legitimate spammers" have realized that it's in their interest to make unsubscription at most a two click operation. The best make it a one click operation. Otherwise you get threads like these...

I think their marketing emails do have unsubscribe link, only the service emails don’t cause they are obliged to inform you about important changes you are subscribed to, like changes in terms of use... however unsubscribe should be provided, cause people don’t really see a difference.

> I should manually log in to their website and delete my account. I don't have time to deal with this... In the time it took to write that comment you could have deleted your account. At least they do have a "delete account" button, a lot of services do not. BTW, you can sign up with a fake non-existent email to check it out, you don't need to confirm your account to start using the app.

Thanks for the warning. I don't need more of that crap filling my spam folder. Microsoft did it for a long time if you signed up for their Azure service, but just recently finally provided and unsubscribe after so many people complained.
