Twitter does this (automatically subscribes you to each new category of email) as well, and it infuriates me to no end.
They also started sending me push notifications telling me that people that I follow started following other people. I have no idea why they think I'd want to know that. It took probably ten minutes with their app to figure out how to disable that.
I cancelled my LinkedIn premium membership just before as well. As a premium user you still get spammed the same as a non-premium user and I can live without it. Vote with your wallet as they say. LinkedIn really need to re-valuate where they stand, you know a situation is desire when many people share a similar sentiment and you have to resort to using Javascript hacks to unsubscribe from email notifications, it shouldn't be this hard.

Besides the emails, what do you think could be improved?
I think LinkedIn is trying too hard to be more than what it is. It's the professional version of the town church. The town church used to record recording weddings, births and deaths. That's it. LinkedIn should be a record of hirings, leavings, new companies forming and old companies dissolving. Against the background of that basic information, people should be able to solicit me, freely, to come work for them - but…
Already you're seeing LinkedIn exclusive editorials by guest writers, and although most of the articles in LinkedIn's feed suck right now, I hope they increase the quality soon (e.g. No more "5 ways to be a successful leader" type articles).
If they can capture quality content and deliver it in the right way then I think that will be successful and fuel more growth in their product and revenues.
I've talked to Reid Hoffman about this, and his answer to what LinkedIn wants to grow up to be is something along the lines of "We've built this social platform which is successful + continues to grow, and that opens up a whole wealth of opportunities to build products/services around it [...]"
I think this is the right path for the company, but what's going to matter is execution. So far they haven't instilled confidence in their execution (What happened to their purchase of Pulse? Their aggregations haven't gotten any better....etc.)

gmail does not have a feedback loop
Gmail certainly does: it implements DKIM.
I left linkedin a long time ago but I still get emails when someone wants to connect. I must have opted out of those a dozen times! Nope, still get 'em. Also, pedant speaking here, "in one click" isn't really an accurate description of this process.
Though requires running your own mail server.
Someone PLEASE do this for meetup
