I was wondering if there was a way in either the Discussions settings or Mail settings to categorize mail I'm receiving specifically from Discussions. I'm curious as to what questions are being answered and asked, but I would like to differentiate the emails I'm receiving from questions being asked in the Communities and discussion threads.!
You are "Following" (subscribed to) 5 forums - getting notices of ALL activity in them.
Email notifications for that many forums is not how I would manage my participation on a Mac*
I am "interested" in at least as many (more) and have made browser bookmarks for each - I prefer the more professional "view" afforded by adding "/content + parameters" to the end of the "simple" URLs for forums
I get all of my URLs to bookmark from Site map of Communities and Categories <(read this. there are other good tips contained therein)
See the difference?

* In answer to your direct question about Mail.
Set up filters for what's in the titles to sort them into custom mail-inbox folders
All subject lines begin with the "forum name" in brackets followed by the thread title
Notice of this thread looks like this > [Using Apple Support Communities] - Mail Volume [c89bzy-72e45-k6tl1]
Filter by the bracketed text at the beginning, not the "code" at the end

You would have to filter them on your end. If your email program allows that (example mail going into social , important, stared).
This link will show how to set it up in outlook

I went with the Mail Filters solution. It just made the most sense for my user habits.
In apple community you can categories your question.
Thank you, ChitlinsCC! It's made everything a little less cluttered!
You're welcome?
What did you choose to do? Mail filters or Bookmarks?
😉 I must confess to a combination of the two 😀
