    What emails are you still getting? You only opted out of receiving PM notifications.

    I don't think that it stops threads you already had emails/ were engaged in. I believe it's just from this point on.

    Because several that opted out early on had these issues. Pallet Pete was one that had some problems.

    Correct, but he need to go to the notifications tab (on the left side) to change his preferences for threads.

    I honestly don't remember what I did to stop them but yes I had a lot of problems with the email system. If I recall correctly it stopped when we upgraded servers...

    Pete-- IFIRC you simple changed your preferences to no longer auto-slubscribe and then the thread you were already slubscribed to eventually quieted down.

    The two that are unchecked are the ones I opted out from, that's how you opt-out you uncheck those



    okay so that is probably it, they will probably stop coming after a while.
    I am just having problems with Outlook 2010, that's the reason I decided to restore my computer completely. Been having problems with office for a long time, we're good now though
    I'm getting it all straightened out now so, it's not a big deal.

    I even managed to get Outlook 2010 email set up without getting any double mails this time :dex::banana:

    You haven't turned the option off yet. See picture. Screenshot from 2015-06-08 20:32:48.png

    OK, now you can unsubscribe from any threads and then resubscribe without emails by clicking the Unwatch Thread option at the top of each thread. Kind of a pain, but it's good for really long running threads. Screenshot from 2015-06-08 21:06:44.png

    Yeah, okay, I was just getting residual alerts I guess
    it's not that big a deal though, I don't need to go and do all that.
