AI Thread Summary
To stop unwanted emails from forum notifications, users can adjust their settings to only receive alerts without email notifications. In the account preferences, disabling the option for "and receive email notifications of replies" will help reduce email clutter. For existing threads, users can visit the watched threads section to disable email notifications for all threads at once. This process ensures that important emails are not missed while minimizing unnecessary notifications. Properly managing notification settings enhances the overall forum experience.

Hi there. I was redirected to ask on here where you can change the notification settings. As it is now, I am receiving loads of emails along with the alerts on the forum. However I would much rather just receive the alerts and no emails (as it is a school email and I am worried about missing something important). In the settings I found I could find a section to turn off alerts, but not to stop emails.

You can change the default settings https://www.physicsforums.com/account/preferences (disable "and receive email notifications of replies").

For existing threads: you can see all threads you watch https://www.physicsforums.com/watched/threads/all. Mark all of them and select "disable email notification".
 
Thank you so much!
