one question -

The email addresses used in this API below - need not be a contact in hubspot, correct ?

[https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/email/update\_status](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/email/update_status)

But to re-subscribe the subscriptions, one cannot use this API, instead the user should have a login to update the email preferneces,

Is my understanding correct ?

Secondly, when I get email subscritpions for any new email address, the subscribed value comes as “true” ?
