How to Permanently Stop Pinterest Emails (Step-by-Step Guide)

Introduction

Pinterest really has a spam problem. Although Pinterest attempts to get rid of spammers, they have a huge battle to look forward to. Spammers using Pinterest create dozens upon dozens of fake accounts for that specific purpose. Yes, you can report the Pins and etc and see if something is done about it. In the meantime, your Gmail account still gets loaded with anything you follow. Keep in mind that there are buyers of email addresses who target Pinterest as well.

In this article, we will explain different ways to stop emails from Pinterest. The most effective method is to use Block Sender, which allows you to permanently block Pinterest emails from your inbox with just a few clicks.

Unsubscribe from Pinterest Emails Using the App

Here's how to unsubscribe from Pinterest emails using their website and mobile app.

Note: It may take a few days for Pinterest email unsubscribing to take effect. If you're looking for a quicker solution, you can block the emails.

Website

  1. Go to pinterest.com and log in to your account.

  2. Click on the gear icon in the bottom-left corner and open Settings.

  1. Navigate to Notifications.

  2. By default, all email notifications are enabled. You can disable the ones you don't want to receive.

OR

Scroll down to the Permissions section at the bottom and disable Email updates if you want to stop receiving all emails from Pinterest.

Note: You'll still receive important updates, such as security and password reset emails.

Mobile

  1. Open the Pinterest app and log in to your account.

  2. Go to your profile and click on your profile pic to open Settings.

  3. Click on Notifications.

  4. Scroll down to the Permissions section at the bottom and disable all email updates.

Unsubscribe from Pinterest Emails Using Gmail

You can also unsubscribe from Pinterest emails using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails or the unsubscribe button at the top.

An important thing to note is that clicking the unsubscribe link (or button) in a Pinterest email will only unsubscribe you from that particular kind of email. You will still receive other emails from Pinterest.

To stop all emails, you will need to change the app settings, as discussed in the previous section, or block all emails from Pinterest.

Unsubscribing from Pinterest emails is a shot in the dark. There's no guarantee that Pinterest will actually remove you from their mailing list. In fact, many users complain they continue to receive Pinterest emails despite unsubscribing multiple times, leaving blocking as the only option.

Block Pinterest Emails (Fast & Easy)

If you want to stop receiving Pinterest emails for good, consider blocking them.

If you use the block option provided by Gmail, it will only block the specific email address that sent the email and not all Pinterest emails. To block all Pinterest emails, you'll need to set up a Gmail filter.

If you're looking for a more straightforward solution, try Block Sender. Block Sender makes it easy to block all emails from a website in just a few clicks.

  3. Click on the Block icon in the toolbar and select "New Block".

  1. Select the Website/Domain option from the dropdown.

  2. Type *.pinterest.com in the next field to block emails from Pinterest.

  1. Click Save.

Note: This rule blocks all emails from Pinterest, including password reset and security emails.

Block Only Specific Pinterest Email Addresses and Domains

Instead of blocking all Pinterest emails, you may only want to block specific ones, such as Pin recommendation emails, which can be too frequent. The issue is that Pinterest sends such emails from multiple email addresses, such as [email protected] and [email protected], and [email protected].

That's a lot of email addresses to block…but Block Sender has got you covered with its wildcard feature!

To block all Pin recommendation emails, you can use the following blocking rule:

recommendations@*pinterest.com

Once this is done, you will no longer receive emails from these Pinterest email accounts. If you ever decide you want to start receiving their emails again, you can simply unblock the email.
