Email notifications for Watching, always, even when logged in

[brianjmurrell]

I have come to understand that if I am logged into a Discourse instance, I won’t receive e-mail notifications for anything I am Watching, in order to reduce duplication. That is fair enough, for some people I guess.

But what if I want those e-mail notifications, even if/when I am logged in?

As an aside, what is the frequency of e-mails to Categorys and Topics I am Watching? Is it an e-mail per posting, or do I have no choice but to receive periodic digests of multiple messages?

You can try changing that behaviour here in your prefs from:

I could be wrong, but give that a go …
