So I am trying to figure out how email settings work, and there is this confusing matrix of options that I’m not sure how they relate: Emails tab: Send me an email when someone messages me: always / only when away / never Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @u…

Why don’t you just use the site and see what happens?

For things you watch you’ll get an email unless you’ve seen it on the site (uh, unless you have turned on the email me anyway option). Mostly it’ll probably do whatever you want. A question like “I want x and get y” can get an answer. *I don’t understand notifications" is harder to deal with.

OK,how about this: I’d like to get an email about everything in a particular category, and regular notifications (things I watch, mentions, etc.) in all others. It seems that I’d want mailing list mode for this, but the only way I can see to get that for just one category is to mute all the others,…

Set the category notification state to “watching”, in that case. Visit the category page and look at the upper right for the notification control.
