The digest mails aren’t sent _during_ the import, they are sent _after_ the import. During the import all emails are disabled, but as soon as the import is finished and Discourse is started, it sees a bunch of users that haven’t visited the forum for a certain amount of time and begins to send digest emails. This is happening since @neil commited [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/de167165e3c133436397e122ab3348985aa582f9](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/de167165e3c133436397e122ab3348985aa582f9) which has been discussed in > [@Ning import script](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ning-import-script/24358/11): > > It would be an improvement if the script would set the imported users default email settings to be the same defaults as any new user. Specifically the digest = weekly. At the moment, the import leaves the digest setting unselected. It’s asking a lot of the users in a migration to have to proactively change settings and opt-in to the digest. A quick solution would be to not automatically enable emails after the import (still it would send the digest mails as soon as emails would be enabled). A better solution would be some sort of grace period after an import where no digest emails should be sent, but I guess that’s not possible at the moment. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dont-trigger-digests-on-migration/26345)._
