Guys,

Certainly this forum is veeery useful… but I’m getting tons of message in my personal email box daily…

Go to preferences:
Then Emails:
Turn off “mailing list mode” and/or change the other notification preferences.
(by the way, all the messages should be from `slicer@discoursemail.com`, so you could filter them, e.g. to a specific folder if you use gmail or most desktop mail clients)

The beauty of discourse forums is that you can configure them to only send you information that is relevant for you, in a way and at a rate that you are comfortable to process.
You can customize which categories you are notified about at one place, here: [https://discourse.slicer.org/u/lassoan/preferences/categories](https://discourse.slicer.org/u/lassoan/preferences/categories)
I would suggest to only keep `Announcements`.
If you are only interested in a particular topic, then you can enable notification for those posts by specifying corresponding tag here: [https://discourse.slicer.org/u/lassoan/preferences/tags](https://discourse.slicer.org/u/lassoan/preferences/tags)
You can also keep a weekly or bi-weekly summary email to have a chance to glance through the activity on the forum ([https://discourse.slicer.org/u/lassoan/preferences/emails](https://discourse.slicer.org/u/lassoan/preferences/emails)).

I guess, I’ve tried it with no success. But will do it again.
Thank you!!

I checked for the summary every two weeks… Let’s see how it goes.
Thank you!!!

I think you need to also remove `Support` from the `Categories->Watching` and `Development` from `Categories->Watching first post` section of the preferences. Then you should only get emails for threads where you replied.
(I would suggest to keep “Announcements” in “Watching first post”, as that one is very low-traffic, just important notices that most people wouldn’t want to miss)

Ok. Just did it.
Let’s see now.
Thank you, friend!
