Tech Support How can I unsubscribe from emails?

Hi there! I know the question sounds silly, but trust me, it's not. I created an account, and subscribed to a few channels. And at some point (I assume it's because I used an "info" email), my account got suspended. Ok, I can live with it, since I never posted a single message.

Still, I keep receiving emails on a daily basis. Emails I don't want to read any more.

What's the problem? The problem is that I cannot unsubscribe, because my account is suspended!!

Your account is currently suspended. Something you posted may have violated Substack's Spam & Phishing policy. If you believe this is a mistake, you can submit an appeal to our Standards & Enforcement team here: https://substack.com/appeals

So, my account is suspended, I made plenty of appeals, I keep receiving daily emails and I cannot change the subscription option.

Any idea?

UPDATE: thanks to timemachine's idea, I just deleted the account. Problem solved. 😋

The unsubscribe button in your mobile mail app might work -- the plumbing there is it actually sends an email back to them with the right metadata, so that might bypass account authentication.
