Can not turn off email notification

[xrocketengineer]

I had originally setup my account to receive an email notification with every alert I received. Now, I have turned off all the email notifications in the account settings but I am still getting emails. How can I stop getting the emails?

Set up a junk email account, and change the address in your profile. I had the same problem, and this was the easiest solution. I also use it when I am required to enter an email address on a website to get additional information about a product. I started it about a year ago, and it has over 10,000 emails in the trash folder. When I get to the point where the email box is getting too full I will then clean out the trash email box.

I use Outlook with my Internet Service Provider. I can set up a rule to move emails (via sender, subject, etc.) to a designated folder. Another option is an automatic rule to permanently delete; same result as emptying the Recycle Bin.

I didn't do it, but I know how they did it. I would tell you, but we are not allowed to divulge trade secrets, like a moderator going into your control panel and unclicking the offending area of concern...

Never mind, it is broken again!

Go to the top right corner of the page and where you see the X for your name, click on that. A drop-down menu will appear and click on Account Details. Then unclick the "Receive news and update emails". Next, click on " You may find additional email options under Preferences" and when that pane opens, you will see a long laundry list of things that you can uncheck to disable anything that you want. When you are all done, click on "Save" at the bottom of the page. If I were a moderator on the forums with the proper level of permissions, I could have done this all in less than the time it took me to type the instructions for you.

I thought EVERYONE knew enough to have a junk eMail account for everything.
Only tell your closest friends/family your REAL eMail.

Then, set up that junk account to delete most of the incoming eMails.... or foreward to your REAL eMail.
