In-mail is a private message feature on the LinkedIn platform. Unless the addressee is an OpenLink Network premium member, it is a paid messaging service. In this feature, a person can send a private message to a LinkedIn member who is not in his/her connection. On LinkedIn, it functions similarly to an email ad.
The Inmail message gets immediately delivered to the recipient&rsquos web-based Inbox on the LinkedIn account. The sender never learns the recipient&rsquos address, so both parties have some privacy. The recipient can then view your profile and decide whether to respond. varied target populations and regular and premium members have varied Inmail costs.
