Morning khandro, you need to unsubscribe.  

I think what Khandro may be after is to retain the list of subscribed posts but without the e-mails - it's certainly something I would like to see 😊

 

Don't they just go quiet after a bit ?

Plus if some spammer adds to them you are informed and can report it.

I think subscribing to a thread automatically generates email notifications, canary - but if anyone knows differently hopefully they'll tell us.

n. At the moment I can't receive emails on that address anyway (see my other thread). It makes me think though that without all those  pesky notifications I would only need to go into AB & look at my 'Subscribed Posts' list.

I must, like everyone else I guess, deleted thousand of unnecessary notifications. 

An opt-out possibility would be welcome.

I have just checked the email that I use for AB and there are no notifications at all.

I recall unticking a little box below where one posts a question so it must have worked.

clementino, unsubscribing removes the thread from the user's subscribed list.  I think Khandro would like to have the option to retain subscribed threads on his list but cancel the email notifications that come with them.

 Clementino- that's only for your own questions. You would still get emails for other people's threads that you have subscribed to.

I just have a separate email address which I use only for AnswerBank and which I check only  every month or so.

Me too, NMA.

Thanks Naomi. I only subscribed to one thread in April and had no notification I think that is when I unchecked the box

When I do check I delete loads of emails about subscribed threads. I'm not sure why they are sent as we can see subscribed threads ( well the 6 most recent)  when we sign into AB.

I only check my emails just to see if I've  received a mod invitation or had replies to my reports of pure stupidity and spam, but I'm still waiting to receive those.

I untick the box but still get notifications. They go straight to the bin

naomi; //...I think Khandro would like to have the option to retain subscribed threads on his list but cancel the email notifications that come with them.//

Exactly!   When one is subscribed to several threads, particularly if they are busy, one has masses of unnecessary notifications.

Set up a filter so they go straight to the bin, Khandro

Khandro, having a separate email account makes deletions easy.  All those notifications arrive under the same heading so I just highlight the whole bunch and delete.

Mark the address used as spam and they'll go to that folder in future.

But it's my main email account.

barry what do you mean, 'set up a filter'?  

I do the same as Barry - I filter all AB emails into my Trash.

 

You have a spam folder and you can mark the address this notifications come from as being spam.

Future notifications will then go straight into the spam folder and not your in-box.

You can filter emails so they don't arrive in your in-box.  So all emails with the address [email protected] go straight to my bin.  

I could block the domain (the @theanswerbank.co.uk) but then I wouldn't receive any emails from AB. 

I also filter words in emails so they go straight to spam - gummies, for example

This is how to do it GMail
