What Is LinkedIn InMail?
LinkedIn InMail is a premium messaging feature that allows you to send messages to people who you are not connected to on LinkedIn. While you can't send direct messages to people outside of your network, you can do so with InMail as long as you have a premium LinkedIn account.
You can’t send another InMail message to a member until they respond to the first message you sent. An automatic reminder is sent to the recipient within three days of the InMail message being sent.
Every InMail message that is accepted/declined or responded to directly within 90 days of it being sent is credited back. A pending InMail message isn’t counted as either accepted or declined. As part of the LinkedIn messaging experience, Quick Replies to InMail messages also count as a response.
