My bank sends (non-transactional) email to me with an unsubscribe link, then magically I get sent more even after going through the whole thing (to the screen where they confirm everything has been unsubscribed).
It's hard to confirm externally that things worked.
- actualwitch 3y agoGoogle probably tracks all clicks on links in mail. It is easy to see that unsubscribe was clicked, and then more mail that you mark as spam came.
- mook 3y agoThat's the thing — it's my bank and it does have transactional mail too. I don't expect Google to be able to tell between those. It's nudging me towards switching banks.
- actualwitch 3y agoI don't use google mail much, but fastmail seems to be capable of making fine-grained judgements on transactional/promotional mail coming from the same address. I reckon google will be able to do it too, certainly easier than changing banks.
