deleted1 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I've found that I am notified of messages from fellow bz members to me by an email sent to my external account. How can I change this setting so that I am notified by new messages only within the bz system. I'd prefer that no communications are sent to my external email address unless absolutely necessary. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immerhinein Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Quite easy, mate - but it's on your own to solve this slight prob, simply use this instruction: 1) Go to Activity => Content I follow Depending on how many discussions you've choosen to follow, you might have to scroll a time, and at the bottom to go to show more till there is no more activity to show. 2) For every headline which is showing up, open it in a new tab, and there open the Following tab. There you take a look which circle is marked. If An Email when ... is active, change to Do not send ... and confirm (update the prefs) the change on this page. Done Hope this helped a bit.

deleted1 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 This was helpful but how do I stop an email being sent to my external address when a member sends me a message through the internal bzone message system? I don't need these showing up in my external inbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLbear Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Create a "sleaze" email account on Yahoo or Hotmail for instance to use that for sites like this and update that in your profile here. Messages or emails will then be sent to that account which you can check when it is safe to and not show up in your more public email account.
