Q: how to stop getting so many emails

Click your username at the top of the page, then click Preferences. The email options are set on that page, disable the ones you don't want to recieve.

I do not think you want to turn off ALL email notifications - nobody I know does

You are following the MacBook Pro forum - a very active forum. STOP following the forum.

1. Click the link above
2. choose so that the button changes to the state of NOT following

That should solve your problem and leave you under normal workflow conditions

Hello CCC,

Shouldn't this be a FAQ? It seems to come up so often. There should just be a link somewhere to the full details of how to manage email, including following groups, threads, posters, etc.

keep at it, and soon you will be able to create a "User Tip" yourself for this pesky critter.

In the meantime, you could merely make up a reply that is comprehensive, then bookmark it using the "Link to this post" feature

Can't you convert it to a user tip ChitlinsCC?

I'd do it myself but frankly I don't have the time & suspect there may be a similar one somewhere already, I almost never use user tips so I don't place much value in them either.

How many thousand points do you need before you can make a user tip? Realistically how likely is it that mrr107i will remember when it is an option?

You should create a new user tip for this. There are two in the community that are totally outdated and they state as much when you open them.

These are old and outdated.

Sure I could

I thought I would give Diana added incentive to keep plugging away to 5,000 points

see reply to Drew...

It is ALWAYS inadvertently following one or more forums (or not understanding the ramifications of following an active forum)

Many times the OP asks the simple question "How do I stop emails" - and our compadres answer the literal question.

A User Tip is simply an elegant way of posting an answer - besides, every OP is following different forum(s) = easier to be specific with a cookie cutter reply with forum link(s) replaced to suit the OP.

User Tips will never be found by the OP (OPs almost never search first) - my feeling about them is that they are most valuable to we helpers than helpees.

I saw your reply to Drew. I agree with you on this, but you could simply point users to the user tip. Post the link in your reply.

I refer people to user tips quite frequently. Once someone new realizes that documents like this exist, it might encourage them to look for them on their own. Or perhaps they will pass the link along to another newbie.

This subject of emails needs "personal attention to details", I fear... A user tip may well serve as the "cookie cutter" starting point though - much like I use tt2's Site map of Communities and Categories  for copy/paste of
