I accidentally clicked on the unsubscribe link on the email. What can I do now? Must I reregister? Must I change my account on letsencrypt .conf file? ---

@Stonethree, the unsubscribe link only affects renewal reminder e-mails; it doesn’t affect the validity of your certs or your ability to obtain new certs in the future. Your account still exists and is still valid, but you won’t get e-mail reminders when certs are near expiry. ---

@schoen - I think that he’s asking how to subscribe those reminder emails again? 🙂 ---

Eventually we would like to build a more sophisticated unsubscribe system that could allow for re-subscribes. In the meantime, if you PM me I’ll remove your unsubscription so you get emails once more. Update March 2017: Please see [https://letsencrypt.org/docs/expiration-emails/](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/expiration-emails/) ---

Update on this: We’ve tweaked our email setup a little bit, and I can no longer directly re-subscribe people. We do want to build our own unsubscribe system that will let people re-subscribe after an accidental unsubscribe. For now, the best approach is to change the email address on your account. For instance, if you used `example@gmail.com`, you can change it to `example+1@gmai.com`. Then you’ll start getting email again. If you’re using Certbot, you can run: ```auto certbot register --update-registration ``` Thanks, Jacob ---

@jsha, glad to know that Certbot feature is going to be useful for something else! 🙂 ---

Sorry, this is a bug in Certbot. There’s a pending fix at [https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/3165](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/3165). ~~You may be able to apply that patch locally if you find your local copy of `acme/acme/client.py`.~~ Actually, looking again at where this error happens, it’s _after_ Certbot has updated your email. So I think your update was successful even though Certbot errored out afterwards. ---

Exact same thing happend to me. 😔 Clicked the link in a caffeine depleted state… Will **certbot register --update-registration** work? Changing email address is unfortunately not an option for me… Ps. Mandrill should at least but a confirm button on that unsub page… 😲 ---

`certbot register --update-registration` will only update the email address, but if the address doesn’t change, you won’t be receiving any emails. Short of changing your address, there’s currently no way to fix this. ---

Just hit it by accident too. Am I right in assuming I won’t receive updates for any sites that use the email in question? ---

The command should work ? Why there are no confirm unsubscribe buton. At least can you minimize your link in mail, the link took 80% on email size I think there are many people who click on accidentally… [Next page](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/accidentally-unsubscribed/14682.md?page=2)
