In this selection: ![25%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/8/98ef246849e3953b5e1a2a612a4529bd4dcea5c8.png) Does “notified” mean that I will receive an email AND a notification on the community website? I think this is the current behavior? However, is it possible to choose to _not_ receive the email but still receive the notification on the website (or via the community’s app)? ---

Email preferences can be configured by users in their preferences or by an admin globally. ---

Also there is a user preference you can set to not receive emails while on the site, which is the default. ---

Notifications are always sent as emails if you haven’t been seen on the website for ~10 minutes. This is configurable in your user preferences in the place you’d expect. ---

Thanks everyone! So would these email settings mean that _no emails are sent_, even for Topics that are ‘watched’? ![42%20AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/f/bf70ed26a10e6f28960e22508486fb0d1a60312a.png) What if there was an option that said: > Do not send me any emails from the community (overrides other settings): > No emails ? ---
