Why should it be closed at this stage? I do understand that the OP has received some good information. However, I for one, would like to know what action the OP has taken and what the outcome was.

I don't think we're obliged to read threads we've lost interest in.

This site does not appear to allow someone to unsubscribe from thread notifications for things they are no longer interested in - and the OP also seems to have lost interest.

Put the mail in the bin, perfectly legal as its your address. He will soon get the message and get a redirection.

Perhaps it's legal in Ireland.

But

The Postal Services Act 2000 states that it is not legal to open someone's post, or delay it reaching the owner.  Putting it in a bin would seriously delay its receipt.

The OP should cross through their address (but allowing it to be decipherable) and mark as "gone away" and put in a postbox.

Only if "intending to act to a person’s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him" after receiving it or "without reasonable excuse, he- (a)intentionally delays or opens a postal packet in the course of its transmission by post". If the OP has received the letter it already has been transmitted by post, they're not stopping it being posted any further than it was intended. It's the vendor's fault for not providing a correct address.

In OP's case it would be hard to give a reasonable excuse; however in a former rental we had loads of letters for a former tenant. She refused to give a forwarding address and eventually blocked all our numbers. After receiving a enormous amount of letters that were from debt collectors (we checked the postcode on the return addresses) and after "returning to sender" had no impact we opened the letters and started calling companies to tell them she wasn't living there because we were worried about bailiffs. We had tried to get her forwarding address and even contacted the letting agency for a forwarding address but they couldn't get one either, she was acting in her own detriment, we weren't because we had tried to forward them to her. 

Just as an FYI, when I was in this situation, we eventually had to do all that opening and redirecting, nothing worse than the possibility of bailiffs turning up and trying to take expensive student stuff. I suggested to one firm I spoke to that they ask the university for a forwarding address / home address of the person refusing to pay their mobile bill.

Do you not unclick the bookmark icon top right to unsubscribe, in the same way you click it to receive the alerts?

I've done this on posts and I've stopped getting notifications on email

Please don't close - I am waiting with baited breath!

Me too. OP posted again on the thread recently so it is still active in any case.

He may find a new excuse for his visits by claiming he wants to see that part of the garden where his late lamented dog is buried!

I was referring to notifications on the site, email is already turned off... currently if you participate in a thread you're alerted to new replies (which I'm admittedly adding to) with no ability to remove the notifications.

The bookmark button has never been clicked for this

There is no way to do it on this site apart from turning off all notifications. The software they use is capable of doing it with an addon which I'm guessing is not installed.
