Email post notifications - How to turn them off

michaels

'All of a sudden' my email inbox is being deluged by new post notifications, previously I never had any.

How do I switch this off?

Thanks

In your profile are notification options

The difference seems to be the old forum would send you one notification for a thread with a new post (and no more emails about that thread until you visited the forum again).
The new forum seems to send you an email for every single reply I think.

I never got any emails before, now I seem to get one every time anyone posts on any threads I have ever posted on.
I have found some check boxes in my profile so hopefully the problem is now fixed.

I had a bit of trouble finding it too as it's not in the most obvious of places. You need to go to Edit Profile, then you'll see Notification Preferences on the left.

ETA: I've just found another way of getting to it. If you click on the Notifications bell symbol at the top, at the top of the drop-down that appears, there's a settings button you can click.

I used to have digests of new posts now I'm deluged with each post - has the digest option disappeared?

I am receiving emails to an address that's no longer on my profile. Therefore, I can't turn them off. This means the address has been retained somewhere in the depths of the site without permission and I would like it removing, please.  I don't want to block messages from MSE as I collect multiple emails in one place. But I'm getting everything twice and have been forced to cancel notification emails when there are some I want. Ta much! 👍
