Thank you kindly for all this information, I have done everything as suggested in the article and I am still receiving notification emails to what seem to be all live threads, to which I have had no link or involvement. I would only EVER want to receive notification of my own discussion threads. As it happened, because my inbox is so full of Apple Support Notifications, I completely missed your post!!
I'm really sorry that sounded as if it was aimed at you, which it wasn't, it's just so frustrating - especially when I find that I didn't notice a post relevant to me in amongst all the support emails!!!
To my kowledge I'm not linked to a specific community, although I have attempted to find out for sure - I'm not convinced I have!
As I have never posted to another subject thread, I am out of reasons why I should be getting any posts at a;;p!
I have set all of my email preferences to 'no' which should stop everything, but it seems to have no impact at all. I left it several days to see if it took time to kick in, but nothing is working for me and I am almost getting to the point that I want to block ASC notifications, but that is counterproductive for me.
I wonder if you can think of anything else I could do except get in touch with Apple?
Kindest regards
Caroline
