The three dots you omitted actually have this relevant text:

To customize what's included in this email, who gets it, or to unsubscribe, set your Message center preferences. If you are receiving this email because your Admin added you as a recipient, please contact your Admin to unsubscribe.

Microsoft respects your privacy. To learn more, please read our Privacy Statement.

No, they don't. The closest thing is:

> Note: As an Azure customer, you are receiving this email because we are required to notify you of product changes that may affect your subscription. This is the only communication that you will receive directly from Microsoft regarding these product changes.

Seems like they're required by law to spam you. Of course they're going to at least use it for something worthwhile at the same time.
It's actually

>This message from Microsoft is an important part of a program, service, or product that you or your company purchased or participates in. Microsoft respects your privacy. Please read our Privacy Statement.

with no option to unsubscribe

Weird. The above is quote from the Office 365 Message. I only have very old Azure messages as I have unsubscribed from the mail.

Just to make it clear - I'm not working for Microsoft or anything like that.

Is there a direct link to the relevant part of their website to actually do that? If not, then it's not good enough.
Yes, there is. The words "set your Message center preferences" are a link.
they dont. Unsuscribe link behind a login wall suck.
