Learn to unsubscribe a contact, so they no longer receive communications from either an address book or your entire account.
Overview
In most cases, contacts unsubscribe themselves. But if you need to unsubscribe a contact yourself, you can do it in one of two ways:
Unsubscribe a contact from an address book
When you unsubscribe a contact from an address book, they are unsubscribed from that address book only. The contact continues to be a part of the All contacts address book, and any other address books they subscribed to.
To unsubscribe a contact from an address book:
- Go to Contacts.
- Select an address book.
- Select the contacts that you want to unsubscribe from the address book.
- Expand the More actions drop-down menu and select Unsubscribe from address book.
Unsubscribe contacts from your account
When you unsubscribe a contact from your account, we remove the contact from all your address books and suppress them as a contact. This eliminates any chance of you accidentally communicating with them in the future.
To view all your suppressed contacts, go to Contacts > Suppressed contacts.
To unsubscribe a contact from your account:
- Go to Contacts.
- Select on an address book.
- Select the contact that you want to unsubscribe from your account.
- Expand the More actions drop-down menu and select Unsubscribe from account.
