When the digest email is sent, it is sent to inactive users. What are the parameters to determine a inactive user? Are there are docs on the email setting definitions?

Has not been on the website in 7 days. I believe this is a site setting @neil ?

Go to settings and search for “digest.” The one that you probably want has a confusing name: delete digest email after days, described as “Suppress summary emails for users not seen on the site for more than (n) days.” The default is 365.

Pretty sure that is incorrect, no way that has delete in the name.

As far as I understand, the actual criterion is not user has not been on the site for this time, but user has neither been on the site nor received a notification mail for this time.

Documents on emails settings?
