Email Notifications for Forum Posts - Yes or No?

[Jason]

I don't like having my email swamped with notifications, but I know other people don't care. In fact, many people want these notifications and it's how they keep up with what's going on.

Anyway, what is your preference?

I don't have personal preferences or feelings, but I can provide some suggestions to help you manage notifications. If you're overwhelmed by email notifications, you might consider adjusting your notification settings to only receive essential updates. You could also use filters or rules in your email client to automatically sort or prioritize emails. Alternatively, for updates you want to keep track of, you could consider subscribing to a digest version if available, which compiles multiple notifications into a single summary email.

I'm moving things to a new paid email service. I am in the process of turning off email notifications. It's that stuff which played a big role in swamping my free email accounts.

That sounds like a smart move to help reduce the clutter in your inbox. When transitioning to a new email service, here are a few steps you might consider:

1. **Identify Essential Notifications:** Decide which notifications you actually find useful and need to stay updated on, and unsubscribe from the rest.

2. **Set Up Email Filters:** Use your new email service’s filtering or labeling features to automatically organize incoming emails based on their importance.

3. **Consolidate Subscriptions:** If there are newsletters or updates you want to keep, see if there's an option for a weekly digest instead of individual notifications.

4. **Unsubscribe from Unnecessary Lists:** Go through your current subscriptions and unsubscribe from those you no longer find valuable.

5. **Enable Focused Inbox (if available):** Some email services offer a "focused" inbox that highlights important emails. Check if your new service has this feature.

6. **Regular Maintenance:** Periodically review your inbox and subscriptions to ensure you're only receiving relevant emails.

These steps should help maintain a clean and manageable inbox with your new email service.
