    I have turned off all alert preferences I can find that might send me an e-mail when someone replies to a thread I have added to or one I am following etc yet I am still receiving e-mails?

    Any ideas?

    Maybe it takes the server a while to catch up? I just did turned all that off too. Kinda wish they would default it to OFF and give us the option to turn it on if we desire to be alerted via email. Twitter is already a pain in my butt.

    I'd like it set default to off as well, you could be right about it taking time, I will see what happens. I don't use Twitter so I can't comment on that.

    I have everything off as well and my inbox is being spammed still. Windows Phone can be quite irritating at times like this. :(

    Dude I think you were right, I have not received an e-mail due to a post etc in quite sometime and several threads have been replied to, it must just take like 30 minutes or something.

    I also disabled the notification on reply to a watched thread... and my Outlook is going nuts

    I am having issues with a watched thread as well, I do have this feature turned off.

    Forum dudes can you help us deal with this spam?

    Having everything set as default to spam your email is a horrible idea. Bravo.

    Everything is turned off and I'm still getting spammed. Very annoying!

    LOL

    Thankfully, I seemed to have stopped the emails now!

    That was the first thing I did was turn off emails related to threads and must have done it soon enough that I've never received an email from here. I did leave the alerts on though so those show in the top-right.

    I am still getting them from watched threads even though I have that turned off!

    Could this be turned off by default? honestly, there's way too much stuff sending out alerts by default, if you post a tiny bit, you're instantaneously spammed.

    Please make it stop by default, I have had over 50 emails since yesterday!

    I was having a lot of trouble getting emails when I thought I'd switched off the email notification.. to stop it I found that I had to do it in two places. This may be because I changed the settings after I posted on threads.. and I think the setting only takes effect from the moment you switch it on, it doesn't stop the mails from threads you may have posted in.

    So, firstly, you need to go into your preferences here to stop emails coming from all threads from the moment you set it. Make sure you click on the box to stop emails. You can also untick the "watch" function too.. but I do find that useful for looking at replies in threads I am interested in

    Once you've done that you need to disable the email for the threads you have already posted in prior to setting this setting. So, from the top, go into "Watched Threads"

    Then select "Show all watched" at the bottom

    Finally tick the ones you want to stop emails coming in from and use the drop down to disable email notification
